Join #TeamBirthrights in this iconic half marathon race through the beautiful royal parks of London and help protect human rights during pregnancy and childbirth.

Too many women and birthing people have their basic rights denied during pregnancy and childbirth, due to gender, race, disability, sexuality or disadvantage.

Birthrights exists to challenge these rights abuses and protect everyones human rights in maternity care. Our vision is to ensure everyone receives the respect and dignity they deserve in pregnancy and childbirth. Our mission is to equip pregnant people with the knowledge and power to advocate for rights-respecting care, and to use our influence to improve services and practice throughout the maternity system.

We are the only UK charity dedicated to using the human rights legal framework to improve maternity care, through: •

• empowering women and birthing people to know and act on their rights through our resources and advice •
• training doctors and midwifes to improve their practice and influence wider NHS culture •
• campaigning for systemic change on a national and local level.

Join our team today or sponsor someone already running to make a difference to the thousands of women and birthing people we support across the UK every year.
