About this Event

The film When You Know: Childbirth in the Asylum System highlights the powerful, personal testimonies of five women with lived experience navigating maternity care while living under asylum restrictions in the United Kingdom. As we celebrate Black Maternal Health Week (BMHW), this film screening and community fireside chat will shed light on both the challenges and the resilience of birthing asylum seekers around the world.
