People leave their homelands for various reasons such as poverty and low incomes, high unemployment, persecution and poor respect of human rights, internal conflict and war, etc. In recent times, our region and the area of neighbouring Italy have seen a growing number of migrant women migrate from their own country for reasons to do with reproductive health or birth. In fact, for many migrant women, issues associated with insufficient or poor sexual and reproductive health in their countries can lead to worse perinatal outcomes than those experienced by women generally. Moreover, migrant women in developed countries often experience more complicated pregnancy outcomes and less women are able to access preventive gynaecology services. The latter may be due to poor cultural competence knowledge among health professionals or other bar- riers encountered by migrant women. With a view to delivering culturally- sensitive healthcare to migrant women, the EU programme INTERREG V-A Italy–Slovenia 2014–2020 funded the project ‘Cross-Border Network for Mi- grant Women: Social Integration, Sexual and Reproductive Health (INTEGRA),’ led by the University of Trieste in Italy. The project outcomes included this scientific monograph ‘Women, Migra- tions and Health: Ensuring Transcultural Healthcare’ which addresses various aspects of migration and women’s health like social integration, sexual and reproductive health, along with related cultural practices, and the develop- ment of cultural competencies among healthcare professionals in delivering culturally sensitive healthcare. Chapter 1 introduces the reader to the main theme of the book – migrant women. Women are often heavily involved in the survival of their families and communities, but today the ‘feminisation of migration’ and ‘feminisa- tion of survival’ processes are very evident. Observation of the sexual and reproductive health of women can provide a good indicator of the extent of integration of cultural communities by revealing women’s capacity for auton- omy and self-determination, a fundamental condition for recognition of their rights and for identifying with the models and values of democratic society, as discussed in Chapter 2. Chapter 3 presents data on the number of migrant 7 Sabina Ličen women in Slovenia which is constantly rising, and notes it will be even higher in the future whereas a comprehensive and systematic approach to migrant women’s reproductive health is still missing. Chapter 4 considers the devel- opment of a sexual and reproductive health index that aims to identify at-risk individuals, or which require ‘targeted’ interventions. This implies the need to identify suitable indicators; namely, another of the INTEGRA project’s pur- poses. Chapter 5 explains that immigrant women from low- and medium- income countries have a higher prevalence of HPV and thus a greater risk of cervical pre-cancer and cancer than native women also due to barriers to access to screening programmes and vaccination uptake. Moreover, Chap- ter 6 discusses the available evidence on the factors associated with migrant women’s use of modern contraceptive methods in Slovenia. Chapter 7 ad- dresses the factors associated with migrants’ healthcare experiences in the host country. The model presented in the chapter can help increase nurs- ing professional’s awareness of the need to provide person-centred care and overcome transcultural differences. Chapter 8 describes migrant women’s so- cial integration in terms of their reproductive health relative to the health- care system in Slovenia. Chapter 9 outlines a qualitative content analysis ap- proach applied to a maternity hospital in Slovenia. The analysis highlights two themes: the experiences, expectations and barriers of a different health- care system; and the impact of culturally-based beliefs on women’s reproduc- tive health. Chapter 10 presents the main obstacles related to the main lan- guage barriers that arise between migrant/refugee patients and healthcare personnel in the area of gynaecology and obstetrics. Chapter 11 discusses mi- grant women’s reproductive health, with an emphasis on the perspectives of migrant women and healthcare professionals (doctors, midwives, commu- nity nurses, etc.)

    Maruša Krese Authors Catalogue Maruša Krese 1 Maruša Krese Authors Catalogue 2 Maruša Krese 3 BIOGRAPHY The poet, writer, journalist, world traveller and humanitarian aid worker Maruša Krese was born in 1947 in Ljubljana. She studied art history, comparative literature and psychotherapy in Slovenia, the USA, Great Britain and the Netherlands. Between 1990 and 2012, she lived and worked in Berlin and Graz as a free-lance journalist and writer. In 2012 she moved to Ljubljana. She wrote several radio plays and radio features, mostly for the German and Austrian nation- al radios. Her articles were published in magazines and newspapers, such as Die Zeit, Berliner Zeitung, NZZ, TAZ, Lettre International, Manuskripte and others. She received several awards, including the Slovenian lit- erary award Fabula for her collection of short stories Vsi moji božici / All My Christmases (2008) and Milena Jesenská Fellowship for Journalists (2008). Her play Der Wind geht gen Mittag und kommt herum zur Mitternacht / The Wind Blows to the Midday and Turns to the Midnight was selected the best radio play of the year (1993). When she lived in Germany and the war was raging in former Yugoslavia, she organized several initiatives to support independent media and peace movements in the region. In 1996, her humanitarian and cultural commitment and the establishment of ties between Germany and Bosnia and Herzegovina won her the German Federal Cross of Merit, while in 2007 the female authors of the European project “Women with a Vision” listed her among 100 most influential women in Europe. Maruša Krese 5 Following a grave illness, Maruša Krese passed away on 7 January 2013 in Ljubljana, soon after the publication of her first novel Me? Scared?
