Despite current humanitarian efforts, The Rohingya in Bangladesh's refugee camps have among the highest maternal mortality worldwide. The authors review maternal mortality within Rohingya refugee populations in Bangladesh, citing the camp conditions and cultural norms that affect the Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR). Next, the authors review current humanitarian efforts made by the UNFPA toward improving reproductive health. Finally, the authors recommend a three-pronged approach to reducing maternal mortality among the Rohingya in Bangladeshi refugee camps. We suggest using Maternity Waiting Homes, Mama Rickshaws, and Traditional Birth Attendants to improve maternal health. These solutions address the three-delays model and place ownership into the community. Ultimately, the authors address a much-needed gap in the literature addressing Rohingya maternal mortality.

We explored the experiences of women with fibromyalgia during the COVID-19 pandemic from a qualitative approach by interviewing eighteen women. We identified seven main themes after performing a thematic analysis: pain description, pain triggers, impact, coping strategies, treatment for pain, pain onset and general situation. In general, pain worsened during the pandemic, and activity restrictions and changes in social interactions were particularly related with that. Pain negatively impacted different life domains: mental health, physical health, cognitive status, social activities and daily activities. Coping strategies varied slightly after the pandemic outbreak, and treatment was interrupted for some women. Results reflect that the pandemic was challenging for women living with fibromyalgia, and highlight the need to develop specific interventions for them in the context of potential future health emergencies.

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a global problem and has been reported to be significantly higher for women in Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). The researchers analyzed Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data of married women in 20 LMICs to examine those most vulnerable to accepting IPV by investigating associated risk factors. The researchers revealed a higher level of acceptance of IPV among illiterate women from poorer households in remote areas. Using these findings, the authors provide insight into ensuring and enhancing the living standards of these vulnerable women by making education more readily accessible.
