Nepal, Hosting a Refugee, Maternal Mental Health

BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Nepal, Hosting a Refugee, Maternal Mental Health

Periods in Nepal, hosting a Syrian refugee and an exploration of maternal mental health.

We go to a village in Nepal where women stay away from others during their periods. What's it like to host a Syrian refugee? And part two of our series on maternal mental health.

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.
