Heading off to Germany today - thanks to an EMCR Kickstarter Grant provided by @EdithCowanUni that funds our #PAUSEMATTERS Study! With guest lectures, meetings and conferences across Germany, our research on natural pauses in childbirth makes a big leap over the pond.

In many countries, 25 November marks #RosesRevolution day - calling for an end of disrespect, abuse, and violence in maternity care. Learn how to stop #ObstetricViolence today while women place roses with letters of protest at the doorsteps of maternity wards around the globe.

[Evita Fernandez @evitafernandez6]

A woman in labour is in her most vulnerable state. Any form of mistreatment should never be tolerated in the birthing room. It is crucial for every healthcare worker to be respectful of her choices.

@Mira_Agnieszka @womenandbirth @EdithCowanUni @NurseMidwifeECU @sagefemmeclare @SaraBayes Great to hear this resonates with you Mira! Thank you for sharing the news!

[Dr Marina Weckend @MarinaWeckend]

@SparklySwan80 @Prof_Bayes Yes, the 'failure' - if any - is with our maternity care system's expectation of continuous progress, of women "motoring on" like machines. And here we are, with our beautiful and chaotic birth patterns, all over the place 😇

[Dr Marina Weckend @MarinaWeckend]

@MidwifeMcKay @Prof_Bayes Yes, wise words Emma. That's true... I think, Denise Hynd also calls it "failure to protect"
