  • This continuing education course is suitable for new and established birth workers who want to explore the intersections of Disability Justice and Reproductive Justice. As doulas and birth workers, we are supporting Disabled people - whether or not we know it - and, many birth workers are, themselves, Disabled. It is vital to examine the ways in which dominant birth culture exacerbates violence against Disabled folks and Disabled children, and identity where we are complicit in that harm.
