Birth Trauma Awareness Week
This week holds deep significance—for all us mothers, and all those who walk beside them.
Birth Trauma Awareness Week is more than a campaign. It’s a platform to be seen, heard, and validated. It’s for those still healing, those unsure what went wrong, and those advocating for the change we so urgently need in maternity care.
This year’s theme—Inequalities—shines a spotlight on how your care in childbirth can be shaped, and sometimes compromised, by factors beyond your control: ethnicity, disability, neurodivergence, socioeconomic background. These differences should never determine the quality of care you receive—but too often, they do.
We raise awareness not just for ourselves—but for the mums who come after us. Because every shared story, every voice lifted, helps to pave the way toward more compassionate, informed, and respectful maternity care.
To the mums still holding silent trauma…
To those who were dismissed or made to feel small in their most vulnerable moments…
To the ones slowly reclaiming their power…
We see you. We hear you. And your story matters.
Let’s break the silence, reduce the stigma, and demand better 🌍
