The Migrant Women’s Experiences of Maternity Care project explores migrant women’s experiences of pregnancy and maternity care in Manchester, Leeds, and Kirklees. Organisers are looking for participants for its end of project workshops, which are open to anyone interested, including:
Migrant parents
Migrant activists, allies and supporters
NHS staff
The project is interested in how these experiences are shaped by the wider social context, including increasingly strict immigration controls, cuts to NHS funding, and local support networks.
The goal of these workshops is to bring together migrant women, migrant support organisations, NHS staff, and other key stakeholders to discuss how we can apply the findings from this project to better support pregnant migrants in the future.
Childcare & lunch will be provided. Travel costs will be refunded for people on low incomes.
Anyone interested is very welcome to attend whichever workshop is most convenient for them.
