When it comes to childbirth, awareness is key. Birth trauma can affect mothers and babies, and knowing the risk factors is crucial for support. #BMHAW24

🚨 We are deeply disappointed in the news this morning that the Rwanda Bill has been passed, displaying a blatant disregard for international law and the Supreme Court.

Today our thoughts are with the people who came here to seek safety who now live with a new terror.
That is what the Rwanda bill boils down to. Performative, useless terror serving as a cynical distraction from the real problems we face. We will fight it with everything we have.

In its Anti Racist Wales Action plan, Welsh Government clearly sets out its vision to create a Wales which is anti-racist by 2030. In this session, part of our gofod3 2023 series, we go through the practical ways in which we can help realise this. eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-volun…

Listening deeply to the voices and lived experiences of black women and birthing people is a vital part of taking an anti-racist approach to improving Black maternal mental healthcare:
-Centering those impacted helps identify where care is undermined by systemic and interpersonal racism.
-Their stories reveal problem areas.
Black women can explain how racism affects their comfort level in seeking care and their health outcomes. This elucidates solutions.
-Provides insights that prevent reliance on stereotypes or biased assumptions in caring for black women.
-Creates accountability for healthcare workers to acknowledge and mitigate their own racial prejudices.
-Fosters trust by demonstrating to black families that their perspectives are valued and racism is taken seriously.
-Promotes empathy, cultural understanding and improving quality of care. #BMMHW23

Where women and birthing people need translation services, they should be offered. I hope that this helps to support teams to understand when to offer a translator and to explore what happens when women decline.
