Update: 2016-07-05

Description

Birth in Sweden. Birth globally. Birth is a human rights issue.

In Sweden, where I live and work, there is a crisis in maternity care happening right now. Pregnant women want to know how it affects them. Families are sad, confused, anxious and upset about what is happening. Out of this rose Födelsevrålet – BirthRoar. A parent-run non-profit with the goal improving maternity care.

Kristina Turner, a friend and colleague, author and activist and one of founders of Födelsevrålet and organizing member of Födelsehuset – The Birth House, lets us in the what and why.

What You’ll Learn In Today’s Episode:

Why are birthing centers be closed down
What does it mean for families
