FERGHANA REGION, Uzbekistan, 10 July 2008 - Guzalkhon Karabaeva is constantly smiling. Her newborn son is tranquil in her arms and so is the maternity ward in which we sit. No babies’ cries interrupt our chat - a clear testament to attentive childcare. “I feel like I’m in a family environment,” she says. And she looks the part. In blue flowered slippers and soft blue pyjamas, she gently bounces her baby son. She is allowed to wear her own clothes here, and has her baby right by her side. However, the experiences were far different for her first two pregnancies. |
