Understanding the next generation

Photographer Julie Rémy reports for Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders on expectant mothers and the health crisis in the slums of Port-au-Prince, Haiti

Photographer Roger Lemoyne travelled to Haiti to meet a group of midwives who are helping to improve the survival rates for expectant mothers and their babies.

A study (via The Daily Mail) done by researchers in Australia and the U.S. suggests that babies who are cared for by nurturing and affectionate mothers may be better equipped to resist the trap of drug addiction later in life than those who were raised by hands-off caregivers.

While women are still carrying a huge part of the childrearing duties, it seems we may feel the best about it.
