Riassunto

For many years there has been growing concern about the culture of fear that is penetrating maternity services throughout the world, and that the fear felt by maternity care workers is directly and indirectly being transferred to the women and families they serve.

The Roar Behind the Silence provides information, inspiration and practical suggestions to support maternity care workers, funders, and policy makers in their quest to deliver sensitive, compassionate and high quality maternity services.
