Rally: Childbirth Rights Rally. Childbirth rights are human rights. A peaceful gathering of people demanding women's right to choice in childbirth. 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. 10am. The Women's Hospital, cnr Grattan St & Flemington Rd, Parkville.Organised by Campaign for Women's Reproductive Rights.
