Play explores pregnancy deaths for women of ethnic minority backgrounds

Liverpool Lighthouse (LLH) hosted a play exploring a 2022 report that highlights the "significant impact on women’s health of the increasing inequalities in the UK, in terms of deprivation and disadvantage."

Building a Best for Baby Revolution was performed by four women seeking sanctuary in the UK in a project led by Liverpool Clinical Commissioning Group (LCCG) partnering with LHH. It’s part of the Liverpool Best for Baby Too initiative; bringing together health, social and education partners as a community of practice to co-create improvements for mothers and babies.

Led by LLH Creative Director Rebecca Ross-Williams, and midwife Pip McKnight, the play explores the lives of four women using puppetry, song, theatre and poetry. They are symbolic of many from Black and minority backgrounds highlighted in the report.
