🌀 Talk Description

This workshop explores the legal frameworks surrounding birth — where women’s rights, institutional systems, and lived experience meet. Drawing from her extensive legal practice, Marta Busquets will guide participants through the realities of judicial processes related to childbirth, both from technical and personal perspectives. Together, we will reflect on strategies for support and advocacy, exploring how legal understanding can empower women, protect autonomy, and strengthen community-based care.
