Cloth flipchart - an education tool from Afghanistan

by thackraybirthstories

Images of a cloth flipchart to be used when demonstrating the stages of pregnancy and childbirth.

These panels were donated to the museum in 2011, and were collected by a filmmaker working in Afghanistan. This flipchart has no text, just pictures, which show different stages of the baby growing in the womb, and how to stay healthy during pregnancy. The panels were used in rural areas with limited access to healthcare, and could be shown to women who didn't have access to medical information or the internet.
