“I'm not moving from here until you resolve this for me”: Mothers of disabled children overcoming barriers to health care
Mothers of disabled children typically fulfil the role of the primary caregiver. For mothers of children with Congenital Zika Syndrome in Colombia, the caregiver role extends far beyond the provision of direct personal care within the private sphere of the home. Their children require specialist interventions, and mothers negotiate access on behalf of their children. In the process, they frequently encounter barriers to timely access to healthcar…
The unmothering of care: Childhood Disability, Structural Violence, and the Politicisation of Motherhood
This article traces the intersection of gendered reproductive labour with disability discrimination, through an ethnographic exploration of families raising children with Congenital Zika Syndrome (CZS) in Barranquilla, Colombia. In this paper I will demonstrate how societal ableism intersects with the patriarchal institution of motherhood to shape the experiences of individual mothers raising disabled children. Children living with impairments ca…
Towards Critical Studies of Disabilities: Engaging Latin American theoretical perspectives on Congenital Zika Syndrome
Infection with the Zika virus during pregnancy can cause disability, yet disability remains under theorised in studies on Congenital Zika Syndrome (CZS). Existing studies are largely exploratory and descriptive in nature, and thus a deeper analysis is needed. Where theory has been applied, there is limited engagement with Latin American theoretical perspectives. The social construction of disability, and of caregiver identity in particular warran…
Good enough mothers: Practicing nurture and motherhood in Chiapas, Mexico
Associations between low HDL, sex and cardiovascular risk markers are substantially different in sub-Saharan Africa and the UK: Analysis of four population studies
INTRODUCTION: Low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is widely used as a marker of cardiovascular disease risk, although this relationship is not causal and is likely mediated through associations with other risk factors. Low HDL is extremely common in sub-Saharan African populations, and this has often been interpreted to indicate that these populations will have increased cardiovascular risk. We aimed to determine whether the association between HD…
