Cesarean Awareness Month

From Mothering.com

 

The International Cesarean Awareness Network, Inc. (ICAN) is

observing " Cesarean Awareness Month " during April 2004. ICAN

supporters in 12 countries will wear burgundy ribbons, looped and

pinned upside down. The burgundy color symbolizes birth. The pinning

of the ribbon upside down symbolizes the state of distress many

pregnant women find themselves in when their right to choose the

method of birth for their child is dismissed. The loop of the

inverted ribbon represents a pregnant belly with the tails of the

ribbon denoting arms outstretched in a cry for help.
