    Open AccessFiona Weeks, Rebecca Myerson et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2025References: 43

    Policymakers and researchers have posited intrapartum care as a potential mediator of racial inequities in perinatal outcomes.

We discuss female migrant factory worker's attitudes towards home and traditional and modern values and implications for themselves and family who re…
