Universal Maternal Rights: A Matter of Life and Death

Childbirth has been a part of our lives since the beginning of time. Without the process none of us would be alive today. So why is it that maternal mortality remains one of the greatest inequities in the world? To date, approximately 500, 000 women die annually due to the lack of appropriate prenatal and obstetric care. Difficulties arising with childbirth cannot be predicted. However, the way in which we react to a situation can have a lasting, positive effect on the countries and the women who are at risk. The ways in which to help reduce the large number of maternal deaths in developing countries is not complicated and can be achieved if it is made a priority. In conclusion, there are multiple obstacles in regard to succeeding the highest achievable standard of health globally. With the education of evolving scientific methods, and the collaboration of humanitarian views, the welfare and health of women and their children, can be internationally restored.

Female Language in Malati maitri’s Sankaraparani

Morgan found that the adi from of the clans formed on the basis of maternal rights, from which the clans based on paternal rights later developed. In this way we understand that the castes we see among the people who are tired of the ancient Social civilization are based on paternal rights and before that there were Social clans with maternal rights. As important as Darwin’s theory of evolution way in biology and how important Marx’s Philosophy of surplus value was in the field of Political, Economy, so important is the discovery that there was a Primitive maternal right that preceded patriarchy in civilized populations. The Social system that forgot this historical background enslaved the woman. set her aside from production. She was stripped of her rights and made to kneel before the man the began to paint her limbs. Myths about women and literary evidence in written form spilled out of masculine thought. Thus, the women become the most physically vulnerable in the attack on the country. In his poems, he shows the way in which the Tamil community considers activities that are considered sacred and pure. Malati Maitri writes about Social liberation, questioning the sacred practices of sacrifice, family morality, domesticity, motherhood and affection.

Maternal Rights Digital Activism and Intersectional Feminism: an Analysis of the Independent Media Platform “Cientista Que Virou Mãe”

This article seeks to obtain a deepened understanding of the phenomenon of maternal rights digital activism, drawing from an analysis of Cientista Que Virou Mãe (CQVM or Scientist who became a mother, in Portuguese), a blog which became an independent media platform. By doing this, we hope to fill an important research gap as little is written on the relationships between motherhood, feminism and the media. Based on preliminary evidence, we also wish to suggest that the CQVM platform can be located within the context of digital activism, arguing that the latter has lots to benefit from incorporating the perspectives of intersectional feminism. In order to achieve this, our study has a netnographic inspiration, analyzing one particular event that was significant in the history of the CQVM platform as it echoed the voices of black mothers. Neste artigo, buscamos compreender o ativismo digital materno a partir da análise de um blog que passou a operar como uma plataforma de mídia independente: o Cientista Que Virou Mãe (CQVM). Gostaríamos de apresentar os indícios que revelam que esta plataforma atua como importante iniciativa de ativismo digital materno. Tanto nos estudos feministas, como nos estudos de comunicação e mídia, este recorte, mais voltado para a análise das relações entre maternidade, feminismo e mídia, é relativamente pouco trabalhado. Após localizarmos a plataforma CQVM dentro do contexto do ativismo digital materno, destacamos que tal fenômeno pode ser beneficiado por uma maior incorporação das perspectivas do feminismo interseccional. Para demonstrar esse ponto, adotamos uma abordagem de inspiração (n)etnográfica, analisando um evento marcante na história da plataforma, o qual trouxe à tona as vozes das mulheres e mães negras. El objetivo de este artículo es conducirnos una comprensión más profunda del fenómeno del activismo digital materno, a partir de un análisis de Cientista Que Virou Mãe (CQVM, La Cientista que se Convirtió en Madre, traducido al español), un blog que se convirtió en una plataforma de medios independientes. A partir de aqui, esperamos llenar una brecha de investigación importante ya que se escribe poco sobre las relaciones entre la maternidad, el feminismo y los medios. También deseamos sugerir que la plataforma CQVM se pueda ubicar dentro del contexto del activismo digital, argumentando que este último tiene mucho que beneficiarse al incorporar las perspectivas del feminismo interseccional. Para cumplir con este propósito, nuestra investigación adopta una inspiración (n)etnográfica, analizando un evento particular que fue significativo en la historia de la plataforma CQVM ya que se manifestaron más fuertemente las voces de las madres negras.

Making Prisoner Rights Real

In this chapter, Lisa Kerr provides a case study of the dynamic Sharon Dolovich identifies: U.S. courts’ failure to extend maternal rights into the prison context. Focusing on the interest incarcerated mothers have in retaining custody of their newborn infants, the chapter illustrates how courts drain the content of mothers’ constitutional rights in response to the most minimal justifications advanced by prisons and state officials. Canadian courts have largely adopted the same deferential approach to prison officials as have American courts. But one recent Canadian case—Inglis v. British Columbia—sharply diverged from this tradition. Not only did the judge in Inglis rule on the side of the prisoners, but her reasoning departed significantly, even radically, from what one typically sees in judicial rulings on prisoners’ constitutional claims, even while resting on wholly recognizable and noncontroversial legal principles. In this way, Kerr argues, Inglis potentially offers a new model for judicial review of prisoners’ constitutional claims.

Who Determines Children's Best Interests?

Danaya Wright's analysis of English child custody law is thoughtful and thought provoking. Through an excursion deep into English legal history, she not only contextualizes the De Manneville case but also convincingly demonstrates that child custody has long been contested and that those contests have always contained an incendiary mix of policies and practices. Wright's article documents that the key elements of custody conflicts—property, children's needs, and paternal and maternal rights and claims—have distinct and collective histories and that both defy easy analysis. In doing so, her essay makes it clear that these cases have always been difficult because they involve changing and clashing interests and because common law tribunals are the setting for their definition and application. Consequently, her essay is a compelling example of the benefits of locating a case in its particular place and time.

Criminalizing Women's Behavior

Legal precedent for criminalizing the behavior of pregnant women has been established in an attempt to protect the fetus. Elevating fetal rights over maternal rights is based on questionable assumptions and inconclusive medical evidence. These criminalization policies are sexist and serve to victimize poor, pregnant women. This paper examines the evidence and policies and suggests an alternative policy approach to dealing with families with parental drug use issues.
