Beschermde Wieg - Oudenbosch, NL - Safe Place Havens on Waymarking.com

"At the back of the building at Markt 45 with the entrance on Jan Gielenplein, directly opposite the entrance to the pharmacy, mothers can safely leave their babies for whom they cannot care. The entrance door opens automatically when the doorbell rings. In the room the mother finds a crib with an envelope in it. The mother is thus reminded of the need to seek help, to leave as much information as possible so that the child can later trace its origins and to reconsider her decision to renounce."

According to Beschermde Wieg website:
"In the Netherlands, there is a group of care-avoiding pregnant women who are not reached by regular care. With all its consequences. Until 2015, an average of 5 foundlings were found annually in the Netherlands. Most of the babies were dead. Since its opening in 2014, the foundation has been committed to reaching these women in need.

She offers low-threshold preventive help and guidance, anonymous if desired, in order to promote a safe birth, with the aim that babies are not left behind in an unsafe place or killed. Women are given objective consultations, during which all bottlenecks and options are discussed. Protected Wieg helps solution-oriented and also offers support after childbirth through an intensive aftercare process."
