The webinar will discuss ways to better support vulnerable migrant women, who are pregnant or new mothers, in the current pandemic
Please join Maternity Action to discuss ways to better support vulnerable migrant women, who are pregnant or new mothers, during the current pandemic. This free online webinar is targeted at midwives, advisers, peer support workers, volunteers and others working with vulnerable migrant women in the North West regions of England
This webinar will take place on Wednesday, 2nd December, between 10- 11.30 am. There will be a series presentations outlining the particular difficulties pregnant women and new mothers are facing in accessing financial support, housing and NHS maternity care during the pandemic.
Find out about the Migrant Women’s Rights Service which provides advice to midwives and community organisations who are supporting migrant women who are at risk of destitution and who may also be affected by charging for NHS maternity care. There will be plenty of opportunities for questions and discussion. Please circulate it amongst your networks.
In early January 2021 we will be holding the same seminar looking at the situation for migrant women living in the South East.
