UK maternal mortality is 3 times higher than Norway's
2/3 of NHS negligence claims payout are f maternity
The cost of botched maternity care is bigger than the budget for maternity care itself.

Women are rarely encouraged to try something new, be bad at it and just enjoy it.
Our leisure is justified by self-improvement: meditate to be more productive, exercise to get slimmer, etc.
But we deserve this kind of joy too.

Emergency services are urging the public to use their phones to call 999 and not to start filming the scene of an incident.
Eve Thomas was just 17 when her Dad was knocked off his bike, and watched in horror as people pulled out their phones instead of trying to help. Speculation then circulated about her dad's accident on social media, which only added to the family's trauma.
Eve recalls what happened to @susannareid100 and Richard.

80 men, at least, in a town of only 6000.
And the horror only multiplies - some of these men are nurses and paramedics, with access to unconscious women.
Their professional histories need to be investigated. Every woman in their orbit is a potential victim.
Can we once and for all dispense with this tedious "But he always took the bins out and said hello" commentary, as if there was a contradiction here that needed explaining.
Violent men ARE "nice guys".
They're nice to everyone but the women they abuse. That's the whole point.
My heart breaks for Carol, Hannah and Louise.
A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK. They’re not a statistic, but people whose lives and dreams were cruelly stolen from them.
Male violence and misogyny are endemic. We demand a world where women are safe and free.
