Maternity services are absolutely vital & must be properly funded. Patients need to be listened to & at the centre of their own care. Action from this inquiry must address the risks and experiences of Black women, who are more likely to die in childbirth.

The gender pay gap is still decades away from closing & has widened in some workplaces - and this is the smallest it’s ever been. Women’s work has always been & is still seriously undervalued. Women have been minding the gap too long, it’s time to close it ft.com/content/18f882…

And go where?
