Analyse how systems and processes can promote equality and inclusion or reinforce discrimination and exclusion.

In undertaking this essay my self knowledge and determination are about to be tested. In reading Stodgill (1974) traits I could relate to some of the qualities, for example adaptability and willingness to assume responsibility, but such traits are quintessentially immeasurable.

For my PhD which is ongoing, I am exploring the concept of safe motherhood as experienced and understood by women, midwives, and traditional birth attendants in Southeast Nigeria. Abstract Background and context: The current global estimates for maternal deaths (MDs) by the World Health Organisation indicate that approximately 350,000 women die each year. Whilst 99% of cases occur in poorly-resourced countries, 10% take place in Nigeria alone.
