Ways to give
Between 600,000-700,000 people give birth within the UK every year. Currently, over a third of them would consider their births to be ‘traumatic’. Together, we can do more to end human rights violations in pregnancy and childbirth.
The demand for Birthrights support has never been greater, with increasing numbers of women and birthing people in need of our support. By supporting Birthrights, we can raise more funds and awareness to ensure that everyone receives respectful maternity care that protects their fundamental rights to dignity, autonomy, privacy, equality and inclusion.
All cheques and bank transfers should be payable to ‘Birthrights’.
