International Women’s Day 8 March is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women and also marks a call to action for accelerating women’s equality. #IWD2025 #AccelerateAction.
This webinar is to discuss and showcase the issues women in the asylum system face during their pregnancy, birth and postnatal period. Developed as part of the Best for Baby Too improvement collaborative in Liverpool aimed at addressing heath inequalities for pregnant asylum seekers and their babies, this film centres the voices of women with lived experience in order to better understand the hidden challenges they face. Exploring themes of fear, access and isolation, the women deliver their message with hope and humanity, empowering those watching to reflect on their own practice in order to influence change.
