What is a BOLD Red Tent Event?
Conceived by BOLD founder Karen Brody, a BOLD Red Tent is an opportunity for every community to find out about how local mothers are giving birth by hearing directly from mothers. It is also a healing tent, where mothers who have had a challenging birth can heal through the telling of their stories.
Maternity care globally is in crisis. Research has found that people tend to remember facts more accurately if they encounter them in a story rather than hearing statistics. If we want people to become educated and understand the maternity crisis in every community, mothers and their supporters need to tell the story. BOLD Red Tents are an opportunity to let local mothers speak directly to their community and to leaders and tell them what their maternity care needs are and what they deserve.
