Thank you to colleagues at @eystwales who are working hard to share information to keep people safe.

@4refugeewomen this post is heartening and full of optimism. We stand with you and all those facing fear at this time.

We stand in solidarity with everyone who is endangered by the racist and Islamaphobic violence we are witnessing. We need immediate action from the government to ensure continued access to maternity care. Read our statement in full: bit.ly/birthcatc

It’s an absolute honour to receive the Nation of Sanctuary Award, and we want to thank @welshrefcouncil for an incredible award ceremony last night. Huge congratulations to all the other award nominees and winners. Together, we are building a culture of hope and welcome.

In 2024, Black women should not be 4 times more likely to die in pregnancy, childbirth and 6 weeks after. This #BMHAW24 we are stepping up our focus on the future, working with @CAVUHB @WGHealthandCare and @RcmWales #AntiRacistWales #NationofSanctuary

Thanks you @LauraSocRes - the talk you gave with our new volunteer cohort was so helpful to their learning - we are lucky to have friends of The Birth Partner Project like you!

We stand with @welshrefcouncil @CityofSanctuary @OasisCDF @4refugeewomen @OxfamCymru in opposition to the Rwanda Bill. #NationofSanctuary #BMHAW24 #RefugeesWelcome

It’s @fivexmore Black Maternal Health Awareness Week #BMHAW24. We’re working with @CAVUHB to improve outcomes for women and birthing people seeking sanctuary who would otherwise give birth alone. Wales is a #NationofSanctuary. @WelshGovernment @WGHealthandCare #AntiRacistWales

🚨BREAKING: The Government's cruel Rwanda Bill has PASSED in Parliament. We are extremely disappointed and angry. But the fight continues. Refugee and asylum-seeking women in our network share: 1/

This inhumane policy from the UK Government is directly opposed to the values of Wales as a #NationofSanctuary #RwandaBill

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

To round up Birth Trauma day we have created a list of useful organisations and individuals doing great work in this space. If you know any birth trauma organisations and individuals that we didn't include please feel free to tag them. #BMHAW24 #FiveXMore

🚨 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. #StopRwanda

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.
