Appalling: The Observer finds 1 in 3 pregnant women in prison are being held pre-trial. The practice of remanding pregnant women should be abolished, especially given the NHS acknowledges all pregnancies in prison are high-risk. Hannah Summers Nic Murray theguardian.com/society/2023/o…

This is huge! Well done to everyone who has supported the campaign so far! ☀️💚

Great piece by Sir Bob Neill KC (Hon) in PoliticsHome on the imprisonment of pregnant women & our campaign to end custodial sentences! “I believe we now have the opportunity to take steps in this direction on a cross-party basis” #NoBirthsBehindBars politicshome.com/thehouse/artic…

AMAZING: An 8months pregnant woman had her mandatory sentence quashed by Court of Appeal on the grounds of her pregnancy 🎉🎉 A phenomenal, unprecedented victory in the courts, bringing us one step closer to an end to imprisonment for pregnant women! theguardian.com/society/2024/j…

Landmark ruling says 8 months pregnant woman should not go to prison! ❤️✨🎉theguardian.com/society/2024/j…

Saturday 9th March - #NoBirthsBehindBars #MothersDay demo - COME and show your solidarity 💚💛

We just invaded the Houses of Parliament, singing loud and clear: #StopRosebank! No new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea! The Rosebank oil and gas licenses will cause an extra 200m tons of CO2 emissions, while doing nothing to lower our energy bills #GreenEnergyisCheapEnergy

We are here outside the RCJ to call on the Sentencing Council to stop sending pregnant women and new mothers to prison. Babies and children need their mums this #MothersDay! #nobirthsbehindbars

Louise’s poem says it all . The Sentencing Council new Guidelines a welcome step in the right direction Level Up @Brthcompanions Professor Laura Abbott @ShonaMinson HMPPS Family Services Group @

THIS IS HUGE. We were at the Sentencing Council’s door last Saturday calling for this change as we have done for the past two years - now the courts must prevent births behind bars theguardian.com/law/2024/mar/1…

Sentencing guidelines from TODAY are changed to include pregnancy as a mitigating factor - to prevent pregnant women and new mothers from going to jail. We have been demanding this change for two years in solidarity with Louise Powell, Rianna Cleary and anyone pregnant in prison.

Big up to #NoBirthsBehindBars! 💛 “As parents of small children, it has been unconscionable to live in a society that treats pregnant women and new mothers in such a brutal and inhumane way” - No Births Behind Bars

Brilliant coverage Janey Starling and Level Up for today’s huge breakthrough!

We just wanted to make a little expression of unqualified love & solidarity for Fossil Free Books and all the important work they're doing to push really important & necessary conversations about links between cultural institutions some of the worst corporate outfits going ❤️🔥✊

Another baby has died. Three baby deaths in five years. Yet courts are still sending pregnant women to prison. This cannot go on. Prison will NEVER be a safe place to be pregnant — we need to end the imprisonment of pregnant women NOW. welevelup.org/petition/pregn…

We are devastated to learn another baby has died inside an English prison. This is why No Births Behind Bars was set up - to stop the government and the courts sending pregnant women and new mothers to prison. This barbaric practice MUST END NOW.

🎃The scariest thing this Halloween? Drilling for more oil & gas in a climate crisis. Today we cooked up some family fun with a serious message for Equinor UK: #StopRosebank All kids deserve a safe climate. ✊ Use our digital letter-writing tool to join the fight:
