Her research program focuses on issues facing uninsured pregnant women in Ontario. Manavi personifies midwifery activism by challenging current health policies and problematizing structural discrimination in the healthcare system. She forms an important link in a network of midwives who regularly deliver pro bono midwifery services to uninsured pregnant women.
