Dear ⁦Maria Rowntree⁩ I am posting this especially for you. I thought it is quite poignant & relevant to you. So work it out #MidwifePoet

Eid can be so triggering. It's a time meant for celebration and togetherness, but for those of us who aren’t part of our families and communities, it amplify feelings of loneliness, grief, and isolation. It's a reminder of what's been lost, regardless of what you have found

For the last five days we have engaged communities in Iftin ward Garissa county on mothers and daughters sessions to combat FGM. Together, we're fostering crucial conversations and empowering change. The Girl Generation Options Consultancy Services Ltd Human Rights at FCDO #EndFGM

Our recent engagement with men in #Kajiado County about #FGM & #ChildMarriage supported by AmplifyChange. We deved into FGM's impact & the lost opportunities for their daughters, they pledge to shield their daughters from this practice & to champion for change. #MenEndFGM

During Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week, let's recognise the pivotal role of midwives in perinatal mental health, as highlighted by Sally Ashton-May. Investing in support now can save lives. #MaternalMentalHealthWeek Sally Ashton -May buff.ly/3UArf6U

Jaha Marie Dukureh Sierra Leoneans, are you watching. Politicians in The Gambia have challenged us. FGM can't be politicized. It's a woman's health, human rights, and a violation. END IT. Congratulations to the people of The Gambia

Congratulations Gambian activists 4 a hard fight to keep the #FGM Ban despite the backlash & excuses Humbled to be @ the discussions last week & heard from so many who want to maintain the ban Royal College of Midwives 💙 everywhere wish to #EndFGM & legislation is key Fatou Baldeh MBE Women In Liberation and Leadership-WILL

@DebbieAriyo Totally shocked that these BME charities were not on the list. Where they invited? Who is behind the list.

Alimatu Dimonekene MBE Pure marginalisation and exclusion. It’s like they deliberately left out BME charities because it’s impossible to accept they cannot find at least 5 BME charities to ask to contribute. That’s the children’s rights alliance.

#TeenagePregnancy hinder girls' education & development. To address this, we involve boys in the conversation. Supported by AmplifyChange, in #TharakaNithi County, we are educating both boys & girls on shared responsibility, fostering #Respect, #Equality and #Support. #MenEndFGM

This is heartbreaking. Even more heartbreaking that it's not the first time the athletics community has lost such an incredible female athlete to domestic violence. 💔 It needs to stop! RIP Rebecca. 🙏

Thank you to Black Funding Network last night for the wonderful opportunity and experience. Different World entirely, huge thanks goes to Valerie for the invite. What a glorious and blessed evening, beautiful company and yummy yummy food. Lots and lots of money raised

Harshita Brella, 24, was found in the boot of a car. Police believe her husband, Pankaj Lamba, murdered her and fled the country. Another woman’s life stolen, discarded like she didn’t matter. Where’s the outrage? When will this end?

What a beautiful evening celebrating The National Lottery 30th birthday! Honoured to be recognised as a Game Changer for the UK. Sir John Major's words about my work left me speechless. Inspired by amazing people transforming lives across heritage, sports & politics ➰

Gender-based violence is more than just a statistic—it’s the lived reality of millions of women worldwide. Behind every number is a face, a name, and a story of pain, fear, and survival.

President Carter taught all of us what it means to live a life of grace, dignity, justice, and service. Michelle and I send our thoughts and prayers to the Carter family, and everyone who loved and learned from this remarkable man. barackobama.medium.com/our-statement-…

Happy International Women's Day to all the strong, independent, bold and courageous women out there. Keep fighting for justice, keep the fight alive and keep the fire burning. Thank you for your commitment, your dedication and passion. Thank you for all you do.
