Equality is defined as "ensuring that every individual has the same opportunities." But one size doesn't fit all.
This is especially true for maternity care. And so, equality is unlikely to result in better outcomes as it does not consider the different advantages and disadvantages we are starting with.

Can you think of any ways we can promote equity in maternity care? We're excited to hear all of your ideas on the 25th of October!
