Hinweis der Redaktion
Definition: “A refugee is someone who has been forced to flee his or her country because of persecution, war, or violence; someone who has a well-founded fear of maltreatment for reasons such as race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group
Collaborators (see example below)
Many of the refugee women that migrate to the United States come without their husband, making them the main provider and caregiver for their family
In 2012, Texas was reported as having one the highest numbers of refugees in the United States. Of the refugees, over half of those immigrating to the United States are women who have not received proper health care developing numerous gynecological issues, cancers, and increased risk to highly problematic and fatal pregnancies
For up to eight months after their arrival, many refugees are only eligible for free medical care.
After the 8 months of free health care expire, refugee women are responsible to obtain their own insurance in order to continue receiving routine preventive women’s health care so that they are able to stay healthy and provide for their family
Goal 1: the women will attend weekly educational sessions on reproductive health topics and show their improvement/change in knowledge through pre/post tests
75% of women refugees will have health care coverage
90% of women will have a primary care physician
