UnhappyBirthday
"Unhappy Birthday" is a website prototype addressing obstetric violence. The website provides comprehensive information on this topic, emergency contacts, a community page, and resources on activism.
The key visuals of the website feature potentially affected women alongside elements of a children's birthday party. This design choice reflects the painful reality that many women relive the trauma of their birth experience on their child's birthday, yet their emotions and experiences are often overlooked. The illustrations aim to shift the focus to the women, emphasizing their feelings and personal stories.
"Unhappy Birthday" aims to create a supportive and informative platform that addresses the immediate needs of affected women while also working towards systemic changes in maternity care practices.
