An indigenous woman in Ottawa, Canada is preparing a home birthing kit in the fear that her newborn will be taken into the Child and Family Services system if she goes into the hospital to deliver, according to this article from CTV News. Eighty-nine percent of the 11,000 children in the child servies system in the province of Ottawa are indigenous, according to a report published in 2017, including this woman's daughter.
