We recommend reading @CCriadoPerez's Invisible Women, about the ways policy development & impact assessments fail to assess the impact on women.
Equality Impact Assessments matter.
We have asked @TeamQEH to correct their EIAs to include the 4 missing protected characteristics.

We have asked @TeamQEH to correct their EIAs to include the 4 missing protected characteristics.
Despite now having the correct list of protected characteristics in V3 of the @TeamQEH Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy, the policy & EIAs do not cover those with the protected characteristic of sex as it uses the word “gender” instead of sex. >

. @TeamQEH was informed of these errors first in 2020 and has failed to correct the omissions and use of gender and transgender in the #Equality, #Diversity and #Inclusion policy and equality impact assessments ( EIAs). >
So I spoke with the Health Care Authority of West Virginia who approves certificates of need in our state. A 🧵 by #folkreporter @folkreporters 1/
I spoke with Timothy Adkins, the interim director of the Certificate of Need program. He clarified the CON program for me, as it pertains to #obgyntwitter in West Virginia. 2/
If an ambulatory care center aka hospital or hospital affiliated clinic exists in your community, that entity DOES NOT need to apply for a CON to add #obgyntwitter care to it's existing facility. 3/
@euro writes (vital thread) to warn us that
1/ EU regulations are not perfect but are not ‘red tape’ either. They improve the quality of our everyday lives by protecting our rights as #workers and #consumers, our #environment and #wildlife and the quality of the #food we eat.

Please, read on 2/ to get more detail on the #REUL Bill (Retained EU Law)
I personally experienced that EU decisions were all scrutinised by UK Parliamentary Committees before they became law! kentbylines.co.uk/balance-of-com…

2/ These EU laws were created with the support of the governments of all the political parties when the UK was in the EU.
EU laws – that the Government now wants to dismantle – protect us in the workplace. They guarantee our paid holidays, reduce the gender pay gap and protect

Great to see Continuity of care high up the political agenda
But why does it matter?

Continuity of care is a highly cost effective health intervention
It does not grab the headlines as well as flashy new hospitals -
but is proven to:
⬆️ your life expectancy
⬇️ hospital admissions

Este año quise materializar la esencia de mis últimos años, la tradición familiar en orfebrería, la maternidad, nuestra pasión por la investigación de la época prehispánica donde es un homenajear a nuestro occidente prehispánico. #maternity #prehispanic
Este pectoral está inspirado en una figurilla prehispánica que fue recolectada y actualmente esta expuesta en el Museo Regional de Guadalajara @mrg_inah corresponde a una mujer de alto rango que está amamantando a su bebé, típica de la Fase El Grillo (450-900 d.C.) #westernmexico
[THREAD] Black and Native babies, as well as their mothers, experience worse health outcomes than their white counterparts in #NorthCarolina.

Encouraging more parents to breastfeed in the first few days and months of a child’s life can help enormously, with research showing there’s a lifetime of health benefits for both moms and babies.

But less than 2% of certified lactation consultants are Black even though research shows people respond best to health messages from those of similar backgrounds.

An FOI shows #Stonewall in #NorthernIreland got the NI Civil Service to remove the words 'mother' and 'woman' from their maternity policies. @StephenNolan you covered this re Scotland; now it's here too. Doc 5 in FOI reply:

1/N - A key thing 2 note abt lack of #Covid19UK clarity on #EarlyYears groups/classes provisions is that *cancelling everything is damaging everyone*. Blanket cancellations of things deemed non-essential r damaging new #mums, who can no longer be spotted if struggling, further..

The National Commission for Enterprises in the #UnorganisedSector was set up in 2004 as an advisory body & a watchdog for the #informal sector. This NCEUS report reviews #labour #laws & #SocialSecurity systems that apply to #workers in unorganised sectors. bit.ly/2PhAOEN
It observes that while existing laws have some provisions for conditions of #work for certain workers, there is no comprehensive legal framework for the “basic and minimum conditions of work” for unorganised sector workers.
Therefore, it proposes comprehensive & protective laws for agricultural & non-agricultural workers in the unorganised sector that will regulate conditions of #work, #SocialSecurity, #welfare and #livehood promotion.
