change social media community standards surrounding informative birth imagery
The issue
Birth images can be confronting, but they are informative. They show women the variations of normal in birth scenarios and is crucial to informing women surrounding their choices in birth. By showing birth in it's rawest form for learning purposes, this enables women to ask their care providers about choices during their own birth. It also enables them to ask questions...because what they saw in a birth image may have been different to what is socially normal.
Facebook and Instagram's community standards need to be revisited and revised. It is stated that they allow images of nudity for learning purposes yet birth photographers work is being banned around the world daily. Join together to fight the stigma surrounding birth and the variations of normal.
