Mothers talk candidly about their birth trauma: ‘I was cut without consultation’
This year, the initiative calls on women to send their negative birth experience (anonymously) to their healthcare provider by means of an Enough Silenced postcard. “Have your boundaries been crossed, did you feel pressured? Or do you have another negative experience in maternity care? Speak up and let your healthcare provider know by sending a postcard.” If you prefer to talk to your healthcare provider about your experience, you can send the Let’s Talk card. Here you indicate that you would like to get in touch and leave your details.

Rose Revolution
A special promotion, but where did the idea of the tickets come from? Marjolein van Gelderen of the Birth Movement tells RTL Nieuws: “It is inspired by the Rose Revolution in Germany, an action where roses with similar cards are placed at hospitals. The cards bring it closer: ‘Oh dear, do care providers now think, will soon’ Can a card fall on my mat?” The intention is that this will start the conversation everywhere. In addition, an experience from earlier can teach you not to do it again.”
The call is already being responded to en masse on social media:
