Strategic Areas of the Platform
Explore strategic areas and meet their coordinators
The IPOV · Innovation Hub are the core areas of work developed within the IPOV project. They bring together materials, reflections, tools and outputs created or coordinated by the IPOV team through its research activities, international secondments, collaborative exchanges and training processes.
These areas reflect the project’s strategic priorities and are designed to support knowledge transfer, professional training, public awareness and the improvement of practices related to obstetric violence and respectful maternity care.
They bring together coordinated focus areas such as Perinatal Mental Health, Restorative Justice, Training, Transformative Practices, and Laws and Human Rights.
Each area will provide access to its key contents, activities and, where applicable, the people or teams coordinating the work.
