BIRTHRIGHT (Home for Unwed Mothers with Unplanned Pregnancies)
The child's first right is the right for life! Birthright was opened in July 1999 and officially launched on 31" March 2002 by Y. Bhg Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir. Birthright provides complete confidential help, temporary shelter, medical aid, legal advice and counseling assistance for single unwed mothers in a loving and caring environment. It ensures that unborn children are brought safely into the world and given the love and shelter they need. We work in co-operation with the Welfare Department to arrange for adoption of babies with the consent of the expectant mothers. We also counsel and prepare these women for motherhood should they decide to raise the children themselves.
Birthright was officially registered under the Akta Pusat Jagaan 1993 as PUSAT JAGAAN BIRTHRIGHT. To-date Birthright has successfully aided sixty unwed mothers, between the ages of 16 and 25 from various races and religious background. More than half of the babies born were given up for adoption.
