Fresh out of an ICAN board meeting, we are so excited about how much ICAN is doing for women through their many chapters, our successful conference in May and our many avenues of support through ICAN International. However, with our growth comes the need for people to step forward and join our team both on our board and in supporting positions.
The International Cesarean Awareness Network, Inc. (ICAN) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to improve maternal-child health by preventing unnecessary cesareans through education, providing support for cesarean recovery, and promoting Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC).
With today's escalating cesarean rates more and more women are being subjected to unnecessary and unwanted surgical delivery of their babies. In the US many hospitals are telling mothers they are not allowing them to labour in their hospitals if they have had a prior cesarean, but that all of these mothers must submit to a repeated surgical delivery, totally unethical and violates the rights of these women.
Would you like to make a difference in our work to provide women with healthier outcomes and better birth experiences? Join our team today and support womens' and babys' rights by making a difference through ICAN. Click on the blog title for a list of volunteer positions... I look forward to your joining us!
