Why This Matters
As part of the 30th anniversary commemorations, IPOV Respectful Care is proud to contribute to critical conversations on obstetric violence, LGBTQ+ reproductive justice, and the broader implications of sexual violence on gender equality and human rights.
A special highlight of this celebration is Patrizia Quattrocchi’s presentation of the #IPOVRespectfulCare project, which sheds light on how global movements and advocacy are driving change in the fight against obstetric violence.

With experts from 19 organizations across 9 countries, IPOV promotes respectful maternity care and global collaboration to drive change.
