Human Rights in Childbirth Conference: Register Now and Save!

My summer travel plans are about to get a lot more interesting...I have been invited to attend the Human Rights in Childbirth Conference in The Hague on May 31-June 1.

I'll be in France during that time, so I might actually be able to hop over (meaning I get on a train, then an airplane, then another airplane, then a train, and finally a bus) to the conference. If I were in Paris, it would be an easy 3-hour train ride. Unfortunately I will be in Nice, so it's not exactly easy to get from there to the northern coast of the Netherlands. But I am trying my best!

(And here's another tidbit you probably never knew about me: I studied Afrikaans in college. One of those highly practical languages *cough*. I could actually use it in the Netherlands, since Afrikaans is a simplified form of Dutch. Of course I've forgotten most of it since I started learning French...)

If you're a blog reader, you can attend this conference LIVE or AT YOUR OWN PACE without having to leave your own home. The conference organizer has offered a special discount for Stand and Deliver readers! You will save close to 60% off the normal webinar fee. More details below:

Human Rights in Childbirth Conference 

Healthcare in childbirth is of great importance to society. This conference takes a unique, consumer perspective. It will focus on the legal and human rights issues arising at the intersection of childbirth and healthcare. The conference is being organized and hosted by affected groups, a legal research institute, and an international law program at The Hague University. Therefore, it creates a unique opportunity for a wide spectrum of stakeholders to share perspectives on the issues relating to birthing women and their families. Doctors, midwives, lawyers, and parents agree on the general principle of client-centered care in childbirth. The conference will be a platform to explore the practical aspects of human rights in 21st century healthcare systems, and how those systems can both maximize safety and respect the dignity of the women they support.
