Description
Rebecca Schiller explores the human rights in childbirth movement, which is gaining momentum worldwide. Activists, midwives, mothers, doctors, and lawyers are coming together to offer rights-based solutions to problems in maternity care. The book delves into the concept of human rights, their application to pregnancy and birth, and the impact of dignity on care.
It explains how human rights principles are being used to revolutionise care for future generations of women, and provides practical inspiration for mothers, caregivers, and campaigners working to improve birth for all women globally. Schiller aims to bust myths around human rights and provide a clear understanding of the rights in pregnancy and birth.
This book offers a valuable insight into the human rights in childbirth movement and its potential to transform maternity care. It is a useful resource for anyone interested in understanding the importance of human rights in this context.
