Rimpi is a 19 year old female and lives in a poor rural village of north east India. She is married, has 2 male children (a 3 year old and a 1 year old) and is currently pregnant. Rimpi works in her home and is responsible for the meals, house work, child care, wood collection, animal care, and may other physical responsibilities. In Rimpi’s village there are no obstetricians in the area and Rimpi has to walk 54km down dangerous terrain in order to receive limited prenatal care. Unfortunately her family makes very little and she is not able to make her own health care decisions, so she does not receive regular care. Rimpi was pregnant once before, with a girl, and her husband forced her have an abortion. In addition, her husband regularly yells at her and occasionally is physically violent. When Rimpi finally goes into labor, she has to give birth at home. Rimpi experiences a prolonged labor and multiple complications. Rimpi ultimately died giving childbirth.
