In this book, we make space to interrogate obstetric violence; from
its historical and legal roots and contemporary realities, to
responses of advocacy and resistance. Through the lens of obstetric
violence, we are able to see overlap in structural vulnerability
across continents as well as recognize the ways in which obstetric
violence is symptomatic of larger global problems including
systemic injustices related to reproductive health. Combining the
perspectives of care providers, birthing people, advocates, and
researchers, our volume seeks to include both a systematic and
structural understanding of obstetric violence. We bring together
diverse voices, from practitioners, to activists, to academics, and
provide a global perspective on obstetric violence with research
from around the world, including indigenous communities from North
America (Canada and Hawaii), examples from Latin American and
Caribbean countries, as well as country-specific cases from
Argentina, Australia, Egypt, Mexico, Portugal, and the United
States. The range of disciplinary perspectives and global
experiences presented in this book demonstrates that obstetric
violence is neither bound to one discipline, nor site specific.
Together the chapters of this volume work to understand obstetric
violence, moving beyond static definitions towards a spectrum of
lived experiences that highlight three main areas: Legislation and
Policy, Experiencing Obstetric Violence, and Advocacy, Resistance
and Reframing. The time for a global recognition of obstetric
violence--of the larger structural forces embedded in systems that
cross cultures and violate bodies in acutely vulnerable life
moments-- is now. By naming it and saying it out loud, we recognize
obstetric violence exists and can together begin the process of
systemic change necessary to prevent it.
This book offers a global perspective on healthcare reform and its
relationship with efforts to improve quality and safety. It looks
at the ways reforms have developed in 30 countries, and
specifically the impact national reform initiatives have had on the
quality and safety of care. It explores how reforms drive quality
and safety improvement, and equally how they act to negate such
goals. Every country included in this book is involved in a reform
and improvement process, but each takes place in a particular
social, cultural, economic and developmental context, leading to
differing emphases and varied progress. Methods for tackling common
problems - financing, efficiencies, effectiveness, evidence-based
practice, institutional reforms, quality improvement, and patient
safety initiatives - also differ. Representatives from each nation
provide a chapter to convey their own situation. The editors draw a
conclusion from these numerous contributions and synthesize the
themes emerging into a coherent 'lessons learned' summary that
delivers value to the numerous stakeholders. Healthcare Reform,
Quality and Safety forms a compendium of the current 'state of the
art' in global healthcare reform. This is the first book of its
type, and offers a unique opportunity for cross-fertilization of
ideas to the mutual benefit of countries involved in the project.
The content will be of interest to governments, policymakers,
managers and leaders, clinicians, teaching academics, researchers
and students.

curiosity of children. This book will give early years
practitioners and students the confidence and knowledge they need
to embark on an exciting journey of outdoor discovery with young
children.
During the past century, tropical rain forests have been reduced to about half of their original area, with consequent loss of biodiversity. Written by leading experts with years of practical and academic experience, this book focuses on the erosion of biodiversity in tropical rain forests, and the role of protected areas in stemming that loss. The book looks at a system of protected areas which could be the cornerstone of all conservation strategies aimed at limiting the inevitable reduction of the planet's biodiversity.
