ABOUT THE FILM
Freedom for Birth is a new 58 minute campaigning film that re-frames Human Rights as the most pressing issue in childbirth today.
In many countries around the world, women are being denied the
most basic human right of autonomy over their own bodies. They cannot
choose how and where to give birth. Those that persist in their desire
to have a normal, physiological birth are sometimes forced by judges to
surrender to surgery or threatened with having their babies taken away
by child welfare services.
In many countries, if a woman wants to have a home birth
supported by a midwife, those midwives face criminal prosecution. Some
midwives, like Ágnes Geréb in Hungary, are even imprisoned.
Freedom for Birth
calls for radical reform to the world’s maternity systems so that these
Human Rights violations stop and women are afforded real choice as to
how and where they give birth.
