As a future midwife and a student researcher at @BirthPlaceLab , this infuriates me. Medical racism is pervasive and further ingrained by MANY medical education programs. Anti-racist and anti-oppressive practice is REQUIRED to be a good HCP. #WeHaveMetTheEnemy #TheyAreUs

@BirthPlaceLab tremendous sharing on giving voice to mothers; community centered research and access to midwifery

At the l talk @TatyanaAli highlights the lack of respect in maternity care.
It's not the responsibility of birthing people to be informed; it's the responsibility of the system and of those who care for them to change.

From the Canadian maternity care survey
49 women had no accommodation when they gave birth.
It doesn’t matter - “out of how many”
That’s 50 too many homeless births
