Thank you @AmandaParris for sharing your own experience to shed light on 🇨🇦’s Black Maternal Health crisis.

When governments refuse to track race-based health data, they’re able to ignore the realities of a health system failing already marginalised populations.

[Amanda Parris @amanda_parris]

TW: this article discusses maternal loss.

In ep. 5 of For the Culture, we discuss the Black maternal health crisis. I wrote this article about the personal experience that inspired it and the loss I was going through while making it.

Commemorating #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth, let's shed light on breast cancer's global impact, the most prevalent cancer among women.

Midwives play a pivotal role as confidants & educators, underscoring regular screenings & early detection for better outcomes #midwifery

[United Nations @UN]

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide.

Yet, early detection through screening as well as treatment significantly help improve survival rates.

Yes @DrSamukeliso !!

Legislation globally hinders midwives from offering a full range of services and leading in the care of women & other birthing people.

Nurse and doctor colleagues: retweet this message in support of midwives!

Can you guess the common thread we’re seeing in these news stories? MIDWIVES!

Investing in them directly improves reproductive health access, especially where #SRH is limited.

[PUSH Campaign @pushcampaignorg]

@ACLU Achieving gender equality means ensuring access to diverse healthcare choices. Midwives play a crucial role in providing personalised care to expecting mothers. Kudos to those fighting for birth centres & midwife-led care, a step towards a more inclusive healthcare system.

@egorp_mary Thank you for sharing!!

Did you know that midwives can meet 90% of the need for essential sexual, reproductive, maternal, newborn, and adolescent health interventions? Support midwives and advance gender equality. @pushcampaignorg #Midwives #GenderEquality #WomenDeliver2023

[PUSH Campaign @pushcampaignorg]

We showed up at the world’s largest gender equality conference to ask delegates about the issues they were representing & demonstrate how midwives are a viable response to many of these issues.

Ask us how midwives address the social justice issues you care about. @WomenDeliver

[PUSH Campaign @pushcampaignorg]

Birth plans are not to be mocked & each woman's unique journey is to be respected. Midwives are experts in providing empathetic care & actively listening to women's desires, ensuring a positive birth experience. #PUSHForMidwives & promote respectful, patient-centred care for all.
