Between 1956 and 1984, thousands of unmarried, pregnant women in the Netherlands were forced to give their babies away. This podcast discovers this dark chapter of Dutch history by hearing the experience of the women as well as the children. Furthermore, legal experts and historians will explain the social situation during that time in order to give attention to the injustice that has been done to Dutch women and their children for decades.

Please support us by listening and sharing this podcast - so the afstandsmoeders and children can finally get the justice they deserve.

#3 Psychologist and Staff at Mother Baby Home Harlinde van Osselaer (ENG)

The mother-baby-home Moederheil in Breda was one of the biggest in the Netherlands. In 1972, at an age of 24 years old, psychologist Harlinde van Osselaer started working there. Quickly, she noticed that for a place where multiple babies lived, it was awfully quiet. Soon she’d find out why. In this episode, Harlinde describes the mother-baby-home Moederheil, her work with the mothers and the babies and her attempt to improve the procedures at Moederheil.
