Childbirth is a noisy, messy, violent — but natural — event. This kind of violence is unavoidable but childbirth is often accompanied by a common, invisible, and avoidable type of unnatural violence: obstetric violence. A normalized set of widespread practices relegate birthing people to a secondary status; by focusing solely on the well-being of the baby, birthing people’s fundamental rights of dignity and respect are being infringing on. One third of pregnant people in the United States report having been the victims of obstetric violence. The causes of obstetric violence involve a complex system of factors related to gender discrimination, unequal power dynamics, weak legal systems, lack of accountability, and misinformation or lack of education about birthing rights. Pregnant people need to be prepared to face this not-uncommon threat. My project proposes the creation of the Respectful Birth Care program, which through various design interventions and stages aims to stop the normalization of obstetric violence, disseminate information about birth rights, create a support community, and provide the resources and support needed to decrease violence during birth. My program is divided into four phases: prenatal session, preparing at home, childbirth support, and postnatal follow up. More information about the project can be found in the attached PDF.
