For this publication, Les Editions be-poles invited Robbie Lawrence to partake in their ongoing series of publications 'Portraits de Villes'.

'Portraits de Villes' is a collection of books, where a photographer is invited to illustrate a city of their choice. Each book is a unique journey, guided by the artist.

Robbie Lawrence chose to document Freetown, and the challenges arising from poor maternal health in Sierra Leone, specifically through the actions of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).
