Inaugural Meeting of APPG on Muslim Women & Launch of its First Inquiry – online
October 20, 2020 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
FreeOn behalf of the APPG Co-Chairs Naz Shah MP (Labour) and Caroline Nokes MP (Conservative) and as the Secretariat of the APPG on Muslim women, we cordially invite you to its Inaugural Meeting on 20th October 2020.
The deep inequalities in maternity care and outcomes in England are well documented. Black women are 4-5 times more likely (and Asian women 2 – 3 times more likely) to die during pregnancy, birth and/or the postpartum period than White women.
The aim of this research, is to develop an in-depth understanding of the experiences of Muslim women who have accessed maternity care in the last five years in England, and to better understand the different factors which have had an impact on the maternal health care received by them.
