Background: Wars, in addition to causing death and destruction, have a negative impact on mental health, especially on perinatal women.

To address this gap, the purpose of this study is to provide a narrative review of the current state of assessment, prevention, and treatment interventions of trauma among perinatal women living in war conditions or displaced as a result of a war.
