In Turkey, a safe haven for Syrian refugee survivors

ANKARA, Turkey –Tragedy had a way of finding Fatima*. She endured brutal domestic violence during two marriages in Syria. And when the war broke out, a bomb struck her home, injuring her and killing the eldest of her five children.  As the conflict intensified, she was trapped at home  when she went into labour with her youngest child. Alone, she gave birth without any help, caring for the newborn by mimicking the care hermidwiveshad provided after her previous deliveries.
