About Birthrights:
Birthrights was founded in 2013 with the understanding that at the heart of the poor experiences and outcomes of maternity care for so many people in the UK, is a consistent failure to listen to the voices of women and birthing people and a complete disregard for their fundamental human rights. We champion the rights of women and birthing people through information and advice, training, campaigns, research and legal action. You can read our new ten-year strategic framework here Strategy - Birthrights
