Woman's Hour

Nepal, Hosting a Refugee, Maternal Mental Health

Duration: 58 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FMLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 LW

Available for over a year

We travel to a village in Nepal where women and girls have to remain separate from the rest of the community when they're having their periods.

What would it be like to host a refugee? We speak to Lucy Pavia who did just that a few weeks after she got married, as well as Loujean who arrived from Syria with just one pink, wheely suitcase and is now studying for a law degree.

In our celebration of craft, we shine the spotlight on wood and furniture and speak to a furniture maker and a woodturner.

We continue our exploration of maternal mental health. Our reporter Jac Philimore, who experienced perinatal anxiety herself, talks to two women who struggled with anxiety and depression when they became mothers. Show less
