@CarolineHomer @tashfromoz @MidwivesACM Looooove seeing so many colleagues picking up their knitting during sessions.

ICM President @FrankaCadee: "I urge midwives to stop being well-behaved and to take on their duty to advocate for women's right to a good birth."

Anniversaries are strange things. I guess as the years go by the anniversary of Jo’s death will become more significant but our family feels our loss everyday& today just feels like another day with our family incomplete & Jo’s joyful presence missing. Life still feels muted.

EXCITING! Our new book @SquaringC will be launched next month at @NormalBirthConf amazon.co.uk/Squaring-Circl… with more than 60 chapter authors we hope to rock the birth world @hannahdahlen @franmcconville @neel_shah @fairsnape @FrankaCadee @susan_bewley @BerksMaternity

“Healthy families are created by choice not by chance.” – Dr. Nafis Sadik #TBT to a transformative moment 25 years ago in Cairo when former @UNFPA chief and leading architect of #ICPD asserted that women should have full control over their bodies and futures 📢 #ICPD25 #UNFPA50

The sun is rising and so are we. Arrived in #Vancouver for #WD2019 to put the status quo on notice. A gender equal world is a better world for all. And we will not go backward.

At the Women Deliver 2019 Conference we will redefine power and show: ✅ how we can all use power for good ✅ the power of #GenderEquality, ✅ that a gender equal world is healthier, wealthier and more peaceful. telegraph.co.uk/news/0/not-lik… #WD2019

At #WHA72, we’re pushing for health financing that reduces gender inequities. Too often girls and women don’t get the services they need due to gender-related biases, norms, and financial barriers. #GenderUHC
