This report is the product of a year-long inquiry into racial injustice, carried out by Birthrights and law firm Leigh Day. The report reveals the devastating impact systemic racism within maternity care is having on Black, Brown, and mixed ethnicity women and birthing people’s safety, dignity, choice, autonomy, and equality – from individual interactions and workforce culture through to curriculums and policies.
