| dc.description.abstract | Natural disasters can have serious impacts on people’s reproductive lives, which with climate change have become more evident. To date, research has focused on the impacts of natural disasters on fertility rates, access to reproductive health care, and on pregnancy outcomes. Less focus has been placed on how natural disasters affect indirect sources of reproductive harm such as intimate partner violence, which is documented to increase in frequency and severity during pregnancy and the post-partum period. This research sets out to explore the syndemic of natural disasters, intimate partner violence, and adverse health impacts on maternal and neonate bodies. Using a reproductive justice and body environmental framework to analyze previous research on this topic, this project aims to understand the unequal reproductive injustices exacerbated by exposure to natural disasters and intimate partner violence | en_US |
