Proud to be an author on this important report highlighting the unequal challenges for women in the North of England - including pregnancy health and well being. We found lots of data on pregnancy inequalities and baby's health, more data needed for maternal health!
Our new #WomanOfTheNorth report lays bare the unequal challenges faced by women living in the North of England - who live shorter lives, work more hours for less pay and are more likely to be an unpaid carer than women in other regions of England 1/13 https://t.co/rlVL7aoJGt
