100 Women

Mothers Reborn

Duration: 23 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC WORLD NEWS Asia PacificLatest broadcast: on BBC WORLD NEWS Africa

In Poland, where the fertility rate is one of the lowest in the world, a group of women are taking control and becoming mothers to fake babies. Reborn dolls are hyper realistic, treated like real children, given a birthing ceremony and even a heartbeat. Yet they serve a deeper purpose, helping women through infertility and loss of a child, and hitting reset on the gender imbalance that often goes hand in hand with motherhood. Mothers Reborn takes a look at the misunderstood world of reborn dolls.
