As Jebbeh's baby grows, it's not joy that fills her heart but fear. When her sister Fatmata went into labour, she set out on foot to hospital. The road was long and she struggled to keep walking under the baking sun. She never made it. Jebbeh told us: 'My sister was crying out with hunger. She died on the side of the road. She never gave birth.' As her due date looms closer, Jebbeh fears she could be next. 'I pray, when that day comes, God will help me to deliver safely, so that I can have a bouncing baby and I'll be healthy,' she says. Together we can fight for a just, equal world for people like Jebbeh.
