For just being Deaf. The Deaf mother was overjoyed at the birth of her first child. Now she could not give her daughter a baby brother or sister. She was abused, ignored, silenced and excluded just for being Deaf.
It took the mother nine years trying for a second baby before she discovered the horrifying truth.
This is a true story still happening today around the world. Deaf women have equal rights. https://wfdeaf.org/fightingfund/hannas-story/

The painting shows a nurse clipping off a fallopian tube and one already on a plate. The Deaf mother is blindfolded, which means without knowing, holding her first born baby. The end table shows medical tools.
