Childbirth Rights Rally
“because childbirth rights are human rights”
When: Thursday
27th June 2013 10.00 – 11.30am
Where: The Women's Hospital cnr Grattan St & Flemington Rd Parkville 3052
What: A peaceful gathering of people holding placards with messages demanding women's right to choice in childbirth.
Why: Medical interventions in childbirth are at record highs with no concurrent gains in safety for mothers and babies. Many women report feeling abused and disrespected in their experience of maternity care. They feel disempowered rather than empowered by their birth experience.
It is time that we claim back our own power in childbirth.
Our right to informed consent and informed refusal.
Our bodies, our babies, our right to decide.
