Birthrights

The APPG #BirthTraumaInquiry findings show how vital birth partners are in helping women and birthing people advocate for their care and safety, before, during and after childbirth. We know that birth partners are not visitors. Our 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗻 tells you what action you can take if you’re being impacted by 𝗯𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 and how we can help: https://bit.ly/partnerres There’s also information for healthcare professionals on how to support women and birthing people and uphold human rights law. #birthpartners #birthrights #birthtraumainquiry #birthjustice #humanrightsinchildbirth #humanrights #maternity #childbirth #pregnancy

We believe that a world where women and birthing people’s bodily autonomy and ability to make informed decisions about their care are respected is not only possible, but crucial to a healthy, sustainable and just society. 𝗕𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 exists when women and birthing people have the rights to give birth with whom, where, when and however they choose. ❣️That is why we at Birthrights provide 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀-𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 information, practical advice and support about your human rights during pregnancy and childbirth - because when women and birthing people have information and support to advocate for their rights, birth justice becomes a possibility. 📍Learn more about your rights and our strategic framework by visiting our website linked in bio, and if you need more support you can also contact our free Advice service at: bit.ly/birthadvice. #WorldDayforInternationalJustice #JusticeMatters #17July #Birthjustice #ReproductiveJustice #HumanRights #PregnancyRights #MaternityRights #MaternityJustice #InternationalJusticeDay #WorldDayforInternationalJustice2024 #MaternalHealth #ReproductiveRightsAreHumanRights #humanrightsinchildbirth #Pregnancy #Childbirth #maternitycare

🎉Congratulations to the new government! The real work begins now. ⚖️It's time to start putting the rights of all women and birthing people first.   📣𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 for the government to commit to a new SAFE Maternity Care Act to uphold fundamental human rights for everyone.

🔎The Independent Review into the NMC undertaken by Rise Associates , has found a toxic work culture with behaviours of racism, bullying and discrimination across parts of the organisation. ❗We must have confidence that the institution charged with overseeing safe practice is itself aware of what safe practice really looks like. ✅Birthrights will continue to advocate for a system where staff are safe to speak out and raise concerns about breaches of women and birthing people's fundamental human rights and to be there for women and birthing people who need advice and information about their rights through their pregnancy and birth. 👓To 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲 to the report, go to: bit.ly/NMCbr . #pregnancy #birthrights #maternitycare #maternityrights #humanrights #HumanRightsViolations #reproductivejustice #ReproductiveRightsAreHumanRights #ReproductiveRights #humanrightsinchildbirth #childbirth #doula #birthworker #midwives

🎊👏🏾Today marks the 76th anniversary of the NHS. We celebrate those who fight against the odds to deliver maternity care that respects and upholds women and birthing people's rights during pregnancy and birth.   🛑The reality is that the UK's maternity care system is in crisis. Today, disparities in outcomes for women and birthing people when accessing maternity care are getting worse, with those from the most marginalized groups experiencing the worst outcomes.   🪧Join our calls for a new SAFE Maternity Care Act to uphold human rights in maternity care for everyone.

🗳️It's #PollingDay in the UK. This #GeneralElection, Birthrights is calling on the next government to implement new legislation that leaves no doubt over how our human rights apply to the UK’s maternity system.   ⚠️Across the UK, the fundamental human rights of women and birthing people are ignored and dismissed daily. ✊🏾📣The next government must commit to developing the systems, institutions and individuals needed to proactively protect the rights of everyone in maternity care. 📌Go to: bit.ly/blogSAFEACT or follow the link in our bio to learn more about our latest campaign. #pollingday #generalelection2024 #birthrights #maternityrights #birthjustice #reproductivejustive #reproductiverights #manifesto #maternitycare #birthworkers #pregnancy #childbirth #humanrights #humanrightsinchildbirth #midwives #doulas #reproductiverightsarehumanrights
