About Independent Regional Mothers

Our Vision

To engage with the community, service providers and governments to promote and enhance education on validation of our motherhood – late 1950’s – early 1970’s – new modern medical outlook policies relating to young unmarried pregnant girls introduced in Victoria May 1958.

To engage with the community, service providers and governments to promote and enhance education on validation of our motherhood – late 1950’s – early 1970’s – new modern medical outlook policies relating to young unmarried pregnant girls introduced in Victoria May 1958. Many young girls endured medical malpractice and mistreatment during pregnancy – sexual and obstetric abuse – faced illegal, unlawful and unethical abduction of their newborn babies during the birthing process or a short time thereafter by patriarchal medical profession.. Our advocacy is not about adoption – there is a pregnancy and birthing process preceding a court’s adoption approval – a new baby is born and so to a mother.

Our Mission

To continue to engage with women, communities, service providers and governments to promote and enhance our truth through advocacy for criminal justice and the health and well being of women across Victoria – to achieve our mission we:

Provide information and support to women and contribute to changes to present adoption information policies and practices
Advocate for mothers’ truth exposed through Commonwealth Senate Report 29.2.2012, Victorian Parliamentary Apology 25.10.2012 and Commonwealth Parliamentary Apology 21.3.2013.

Enhance the well being of women who are still suffering a life time of trauma as a consequence of these crimes and criminal abduction of their newborn babies.

Address groups and organisations including medical and allied health workers as part of educational program continuing to spread our truth throughout Victorian community.

“To permanently separate a mother and her newborn child against their will is to pervert the order of nature and betray the basic tenets of civilisation. For any profession to violate this rule is a concept deeply unsettling to comprehend”
(Daniel Andrews Opposition Leader Victorian Parliamentary Apology 25.10.2012)

“Denial of truth is shorthand for the abdication of responsibility.”
(Former Senator Andrew Murray 2004)
