Strengthened in the healthcare system

As part of the large project “RADAR – Strengthening the Advocacy Potential of Civil Society Organizations for the Protection of Women’s Human Rights in Healthcare,” the organization RODA – Parents in Action has created an e-course “Strengthened in the Healthcare System” intended for volunteers, employees in organizations, and activists. “Through this course, we aim to empower women to better understand domination and provide resistance to the domination they are often exposed to in the healthcare system.” says RODA.

The e-course is available at the following link: https://edukacija.roda.hr/tecajevi/osnazene-u-zdravstvenom-sustavu/

In addition, the excellent video material introduces viewers to the techniques of domination that women encounter during childbirth. The video was created in collaboration with the partner organization Open Media Group – O.M.G, and the Croatian Sign Language translation and subtitles were provided in collaboration with the Women’s Forum HSGN, which we present below.

RODA’s team spent four intensive working days in Iceland, from June 27 to June 30, 2022, during which their Icelandic partners in the project, Women’s Counselling, provided them with knowledge transfer and experience on techniques for countering domination, the Master Suppression Techniques (MST). Through this exceptional bilateral cooperation, they prepared a draft program for trainer training on techniques to counter domination, and what they learned was transformed into these valuable outcomes.
