WORKSHOP: Birth and postpartum as a human right
Birth and Postpartum as a Human Right is a two part series that invites participants into the basic essentials of birth sovereignty and human rights during the childbearing journey rooted firmly in Indigenous and decolonial frameworks.
We will explore:
Understanding dignified birth and postpartum as a human right.
Exploring human rights in birth, including autonomy, informed choice, and cultural safety.
Unpacking colonial disconnections; how systemic birth protocols disrupt cultural, ancestral and bodily knowledge.
Infusing personal experience and a decolonial lens; understanding precolonial birthing worldviews and reconnection with land and ancestry.
Week 2 will be focused solely on the basics of postpartum care and postpartum as a community responsibility.
This two part series is for parents, birthworkers, doulas, therapists, community healers, and anyone called to reframe birth and postpartum through an anti-oppressive, re-indigenising lens.
The intention is that you will leave with frameworks to understand birth as a rite of passage, to advocate for autonomy, and to reweave postpartum care.
WHEN: Saturday September 27th 2pm Aest and Sunday October 5th 10am Aedt
Each class will run for 90 minutes and will be interactive. You will receive a PDF with notes and basic postpartum recipes to share with your community.
WHERE: Via Zoom - classes will be live and recorded.
