Protest to target maternity hospital
A group of women, including mothers, midwives, doulas and other birth activists are
protesting at various locations nationwide. They have organised these protests as a response to the apparent negligence of a roadmap for when maternity restrictions will be eased as the rest of society reopens.
Their Mid-West protest is planned for May 16 at 12pm following their claim a woman has a right to her chosen partner’s presence throughout the duration of her pregnancy, labour, and birth in line with the World Health Organisations guidelines.
The group stresses that partners are not visitors – rather they are an essential part of the process and support needs of the woman.
