There is an African proverb that says that “it takes a village to raise a child”. This roundtable will propose a reflection about gestation from the perspective of carrying and caring, accentuating the idea of a lasting process that is not limited or circumscribed to pregnancy and birth, and that encompasses a collective engagement with the generation and protection of life. From Indigenous and grassroots perspectives to socio-economic, political and emotional aspects, the speakers will reflect upon the reciprocal influence between human communities and their context in the development of decent and dignified living conditions, something that will touch the design of public policies coherent with these purposes.
