The Maternal Mental Health Alliance is deeply appalled and heartbroken by the recent wave of anti-immigration marches and the racist and misogynistic abuse that has accompanied them.
We have been particularly horrified by reports of women and birthing people being directly targeted in counter-protests and online, including the racism directed at members of our own community who work tirelessly to create safe spaces for vulnerable families impacted by perinatal mental health difficulties. And we will not stand for it.
Nobody should live in fear because of their identity.
The word ‘Alliance’ is in our name for a reason; we are built on inclusivity, solidarity, and collective strength. Together, we must combat hatred and strive towards an equitable society where everyone is safe, respected, and cared for.
