@PoliceUg @OkothOchola1 and when will police families in barracks throughout the country get consistent running water?

[Sands - baby loss charity 💜🧡 @SandsUK]

Black and Asian bereaved parents whose baby died before, during or shortly after birth have been sharing their experiences with us.

The 56 parents who took part shone a light on care that works well, while also highlighting barriers, biases, and poor care.

For some families, not being listened to or having their concerns taken seriously led to important warning signs going unnoticed, investigations not being carried out and opportunities to save babies’ lives being missed.

Read the experiences of Black and Asian bereaved parents as well as what needs to change and our recommendations to make pregnancy safer for everyone ⬇️

We’re sharing the voices of Black and Asian bereaved parents to ensure they’re heard alongside today’s publication of the @mbrrace confidential enquiry findings.

@RachelNuwer @NoemaMag that the African population is growing is actually an amazing success story in maternal and infant health improvements. Put the pressure on climate change in the Global North - the worlds most polluting countries and leave Africa alone.

Last night the House of Lords gave cross-party backing to the right to work for people seeking asylum - a major milestone for #LiftTheBan thanks to a brilliant, diverse and tireless campaigning coalition of more than 250 organisations. Next stop - the House of Commons...

@GreenDocScott Same happened to me! The midwives seemed so stressed and determined to get a full pregnancy worth of appointments, redoing all kinds of tests and screenings despite me having 28 weeks of excellent antenatal care in Uganda 🧐

@CarGarMPS @diabolicalpree Definitely set your wife up with this 😁

[Gabriella Stringer @GFStringer]

@makesmilk Thank you for this, I'm breastfeeding an 11 month old and it's so important for me to hear that I too matter in the breastfeeding relationship! To often it's just about the baby, but I also get to choose if and when I feed and when I need some bodily boundaries.
