Abstract
The women's right to respectful and dignified care during labour and childbirth is strategically accepted. As management committee members of the EU COST Action CA18211 network ('DEVOTION') focused on traumatic childbirth (www.ca18211.eu), we are concerned with ensuring a positive birth experience for all. We work on a pan-European level to ensure women's rights to give birth in a clinically and psychologically safe environment including during the current COVID-19 pandemic.
