Solace for Mothers invites you to join us in writing to Lynn Rosenthal and Michelle Obama in an effort to bring awareness to the violence women experience at the hands of some maternity care providers. First Lady Michelle Obama has made recent remarks championing the rights of childbearing women, and may be an ally for this cause. Lynn Rosenthal is a former executive director of the National Network to End Domestic Violence and was recently named as the Presidential Advisor on Violence Against Women, a new post created by the Obama administration.
Solace is calling for an official review of perinatal practices to investigate common and flagrant violations of patients’ rights; mainly the right to informed consent and refusal. They are asking that enhanced and enforced mechanisms for accountability follow the investigation.
