A good summary of @wbtiuk.bsky.social’s report card for the UK on ten policy & programme indicators ⬇️ TLDR: not much progress since the 2016 report & the UK is in the bottom 25% of countries. Implementing the recommendations of the @cmagovuk.bsky.social report on BMS would be a great step #APPGIFI

We know that support isn't equitable for all. We want to change that, and one way is to elevate voices of those who can speak directly to what it was like for them or those who are professionals working to support minoritised communities.

We're so excited to announce the first speakers in our upcoming webinar series tomorrow! Our Equity in Breastfeeding sessions will be a monthly, 15 minute webinar series, from those with lived experience breastfeeding or chestfeeding as a minoritised person in the UK or from a professional.
