In many parts of the world, mothers in hospitals are not treated with kindness and respect. This is especially true for women who are poor, from minority groups, or have less education. The World Health Organization says every mother should be treated with dignity. But in reality, not all women get the same care.

Why does this happen? It's because of who these women are. Their background, like their race, age, or where they come from, affects how they are treated. For example, a young mother might be treated differently than an older one. Or a mother who speaks the local language might get better care than one who doesn't.

This is a big problem. Every mother should feel safe and respected when they give birth. But right now, many women are not getting the care they deserve. This needs to change. We need to make sure all mothers are treated with kindness and respect, no matter who they are.
