Description
Birth Justice: From Obstetric Violence to Abolitionist Care 1st Edition
Birth Justice: From Obstetric Violence to Abolitionist Care, 1st Edition is a thought-provoking and timely book that explores the intersections of reproductive justice, maternal health, and systemic inequalities in childbirth care. This book is aimed at healthcare professionals, midwives, obstetricians, nurses, medical students, public health practitioners, and social justice advocates who seek to understand and address the complex issues surrounding obstetric care and maternal rights.
The book critically examines obstetric violence, including coercive practices, disrespectful care, and systemic discrimination that disproportionately affects marginalized populations. It situates these issues within a broader social, historical, and structural context, highlighting how racism, ableism, and socioeconomic disparities influence maternal and neonatal outcomes.
A key strength of Birth Justice is its focus on abolitionist and transformative care models. It offers practical frameworks for reimagining obstetric care that center autonomy, dignity, informed consent, and culturally sensitive practices. Readers gain insight into alternative approaches that prioritize patient-centered care, community-based support, and structural change to dismantle harmful practices in childbirth systems.
The book combines research-based evidence, case studies, personal narratives, and policy analysis, providing a multidimensional understanding of birth justice. It encourages readers to critically reflect on existing practices, question institutional norms, and actively advocate for ethical, equitable, and empowering maternal care.
This first edition also addresses interdisciplinary collaboration, emphasizing the roles of clinicians, midwives, public health professionals, and policymakers in creating systemic change. It is particularly valuable for those involved in maternal health research, advocacy, and education, as well as anyone committed to promoting equity and justice in reproductive care.
