Surviving abuse, finding hope

This woman's journey is one of strength, resilience, and the power of compassionate care. At just 13 years old, she experienced abuse and became a mother. Years later, she returned to Birthvillage again to have another child, conceived out of love.
For her, the choice to return to the same care-providers was important - particularly her midwife. This is a testament to the deep connection and trust that can be built between patients and their healthcare providers.
Why we chose to broadcast this on Mother's day?
On social media, most Mothers day posts are about the sunny side of the journey. But, motherhood is not a bed of roses for everyone. In many parts of the world, there are still young girls who are forced to go through motherhood when they aren't ready for it, mentally and physically.
This video is one that we hope will instill hope and awareness in people. If you are or know someone who has experienced abuse or trauma, know that you are not alone. There is help and support available.
We are honored to share and to celebrate her story. Let's continue to raise awareness and advocate for the wellbeing of all mothers and babies.
P.s. Tejus Home is an initiative by Dilse India and Birth for Change (a nonprofit initiative by Birthvillage). Birthvillage has been instrumental in helping these girls birth their babies in safety and confidentiality.
