Right 3: The right to dignity and independence.

"My midwife supported my dignity and independence by respecting my choice to decline vaginal examinations and by quietly observing me as I laboured in an uninterrupted state as requested."

Right 4: The right to services of an appropriate standard.

@GraceSweeneyAU @Melb_Homebirth @JillHennessyMP @reallykazcooke Birth choice is essential to safe birth. Birth cannot and should not be standardised. We need to recognise this. Thanks for speaking up @GraceSweeneyAU

Here in Aotearoa we believe all women have the right to informed consent, including the right to informed refusal. Birth rights are human rights. Midwifery led continuity of care model is an excellent model. Feel free to copy us.
