From stories to systems change.
Birth Forward works to advance Respectful Maternity Care in Cyprus—through projects, knowledge, and community-led action. Explore our current initiatives and the resources we publish to support informed choice, dignity, and accountability in maternity care.
Our projects
Ongoing and past initiatives that document lived experience, strengthen support networks, and push for safer, more respectful maternity care—online and on the ground.
Publications
Practical guides, statements, toolkits, and evidence summaries—created to make information accessible, shareable, and useful for families, professionals, and advocates.
What we focus on
We centre the person giving birth as an active subject with voice, agency, and rights. Our work connects personal experience with structural change—so respect is not a “nice-to-have,” but a standard that is expected, measured, and protected.
Whether you’re a parent, a health professional, a policymaker, or simply someone who cares— these pages are an entry point into what we do and why it matters.
