Maternity Care Restrictions - Women Ascend Linda Kelly

Meet Linda, the woman behind Women Ascend and the #bettermaternitycare campaign which has been fighting for the maternity care restrictions in Ireland to be lifted - (once it was safe to do so.)Linda has been pushing for greater rights and equality for decades but when she became a mother she really saw how women can be silenced, disempowered and held back in so many ways through work, through the inequality of the juggle and in how decisions can be made about our maternity care - without us. This episode was recorded before the announcement this week by the Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly that all maternity restrictions were to be lifted in every hospital nationwide.  A lot of questions remain as to how and why this announcement has taken so long. But one thing we know, the power to ascend when women use their voices together.If you enjoyed it or found this episode supportive then please rate, leave a review or share by tagging everymum on instagram.everymum the podcast is kindly supported by Waterwipes proven to be purer than cotton wool and water.
