Women’s empowerment through education!
This is an interesting idea and I just wanted to say that you could apply Freire’s educational model in your workshops.
Hi Faatemehzahraa Thank you
Hi Faatemehzahraa
Thank you for the feedback. I'm not familiar with the Freire's educational model--but I will look it up.
women`s empowerment through education
This is wonderful am just wondering if you thought of how the workshop will be conducted if some of the women will be ilitrate .
The main aim of the workshops
The main aim of the workshops is to not give out pamphlets but to engage and communicate to each other. The emphasis is on sharing experiences, knowledge and expertise with mothers to be. These workshops will be carried out in "birth class" style with a focused objective to empowering the mother with choices.
Anyone that does not speak the same language will be catered for in another way. Perhaps start a similar workshop in their own language. The objective is for women to feel strong and understand the information suggested to them.
In some countries birth classes are a norm but in other countries, they are paid for, received by a few mothers. This needs to change-
Women are very powerful in
Women are very powerful in creating spider networks that support each other and learn from each other. We must not belittle that. When all technology and modern medicine fails to meet our needs it is these connections that are really important to us and which sustain us. Communities ( doctors, nurses, midwives, men, sisters) need to mobilise themselves from within to take care of the needs of the women and create supportive structures for mothers to feel safe and empowered.
Its a simple model, but it can transform the way women think about the health of the babies and themselves.

Will men be supportive?
You mentioned that most women give decision making to men and health professionals. Will the men of these communities be supportive of the workshops that will be offered? How will you advertise and encourage participation in areas where it is not readily accepted? And what specific information will the workshop curriculum include?

Mens Participation
Thank you for this comment. No doubt it is a challenge. I think the best way to go about it is have open dialogue and communication within the community and family unit. Maybe some kind of incentive for men (in the beginning stages)in areas where such subjects are taboo.
The information contained in the curriculum will be based on empowering the woman with information so that she doesn't give the decision making powers to others but feels confident enough to make those desicions herself.
