Eva Placzek wanted to be a midwife ever since she was a little girl. But the reality of her dream job was quite different: In a recent survey, one in three women giving birth reported experiencing violence during childbirth. Eva Placzek broke off her first midwifery training because of these experiences. She also says, "I was complicit."
