Activists staged a demonstration outside of a major train station to draw attention to the 300 newborns abandoned annually in maternity wards.
The non-governmental organization SOS Children’s Villages staged a demonstration outside of the Nyugati train station in Budapest to raise awareness for the high number of newborn babies abandoned after birth.
Each year, 300 newborn babies are abandoned in hospital maternity wards in Hungary.
The NGO drew attention to how this results in the deprivation of exposure to crucial elements for the child’s healthy development, such as parental bonding, skin-to-skin contact, and breastfeeding.
