Abstract		Today, migration is a global reality. People leave their homelands for various reasons such as poverty and low incomes, high unemployment, persecution and poor respect of human rights, internal conflict and war, etc. In recent times, our region and the area of neighbouring Italy have seen a growing number of migrantwomen migrate fromtheir own country for reasons to do with reproductive health or birth. In fact, for many migrant women, issues associated with insufficient or poor sexual and reproductive health in their countries can lead to worse perinatal outcomes than those experienced by women generally. Moreover, migrant women in developed countries often experience more complicated pregnancy outcomes and lesswomen are able to access preventive gynaecology services. The latter may be due to poor cultural competence knowledge among health professionals or other barriers encountered by migrant women.
