AFAR (Accouchement Femmes Autonomie Respect) is a French-speaking association that supports and informs people about physiological childbirth. Its purpose is to help individuals access information so they can make their own choices about childbirth and welcoming a newborn, and to encourage respect for those choices. AFAR is a member of the Interassociative Collective around Birth (CIANE).

The association’s website brings together practical and educational resources on childbirth, perinatal care, rights and ethics. These include practical guides, information about medical data, birth registration guidance, open letters, bibliographies, research tools and summaries concerning obstetric violence. The site also features articles, a monitoring section, a newsletter, and flyers and posters. AFAR invites people to become members through an annual subscription and provides contact details for inquiries. The website states that the association was undergoing restructuring through the end of 2024, with plans to offer members monthly information and discussion workshops and make accessible scientific content available to everyone. Its work centers on informed decision-making, autonomy and respectful care during the perinatal period.
