Unpacking Childbirth Rights + Obstetric Violence

This episode came from deep within the archives of 2020 unedited interviews, and it couldn't be unearthed at a more perfect time as women and birthworkers are exploring women's rights in childbirth within the system.

I had an in depth discussion with Tina Charlton, Freebirth Witness and Support, starting out with her research in Obstetric Violence in her home country of Germany and then within her second home, Australia.

We touched on the questions that so many women ponder, and the facts so many mis-educate on:

Is it really enough to know your birth rights?
The loose language used around these.
Even when you know them, are they going to upheld?
Is anybody ever held accountable if they're not?

We dove deep into the reframing of birth trauma by the system, the normalisation of inflicted birth injuries, the grooming of women starting in teenage years under the guise of reproductive health, how to truly research birth and educate yourself with independent information, what true birth trauma support looks like and who you should be turning to for that, what is consent, what is medical negligence and lastly - why are there so many men in positions of care within women's reproductive health?
