222 | Birth - The forgotten issue of Feminism with attorney and human rights advocate Hermine Hayes-Klein

from Geburtsgeschichten · host Thea Maillard

In this episode, Thea speaks with American attorney and advocate Hermine Hayes-Klein about Human Rights and Bodily Autonomy in pregnancy and childbirth and what both pregnant women and midwifes can do to protect their rights. Thea experienced violations of her bodily autonomy during her first birth that resulted in an unwanted c-section. In her second pregnancy, she was confronted with the limited choice of midwives for a home birth after cesarian (HBAC) after her chosen midwife was unable to continue her care half way through the pregnancy after the midwife was accused by the state of Austria of causing the death of a new born baby. You can find out more about the case against midwife Margarete Wana here. Please support Margarete's fight for justice here.
