Welcome to my website.

This is where you can read more about a range of topics connected to human rights in childbirth, including: freebirth, consent and obstetric violence. In addition, you will find information on Threads of Protest: Human Rights in Childbirth. This is a touring public engagement crochet exhibition, which promotes better maternity care for people in the UK and abroad.
