Agnes is inspiring and worked as the only Independent Home Birth Midwife in her country for 12 years during which time she had 4 children. Before this she was one of only 15 obstetricians/Gynacologists in Hungary. She has been persecuted for her work and experienced the modern day witch hunt after serving at 3,500 births over 22 years. Agnes has a golden kindness and an incredible way of being support for women. Her case came before European Court of Human Rights, and won setting a massive precedent of Autonomy in birth, which has set a major precedent. I honour Agnes sharing on a podcast platform in English which is not her mother tongue, showing a slither of her insane courage!

Find out more through the Freedom For Birth Doccumentary “A 60 minute documentary telling the story of how a Hungarian mother, Anna Ternovszky, took her country to the European Court of Human Rights to win the right to choose where and how to give birth. We were inspired to make the film by the injustice happening to Anna’s home birth midwife, Agnes Gereb, who had been imprisoned and at the time of filming was under house arrest and facing multiple criminal charges (and even today, four years later, Agnes is still facing multiple charges).” https://microbirth.com/freedom-for-birth/
