Giving birth in Serbia: ‘You leave your dignity at the door’.

A months-long DW investigation into childbirth in Serbia revealed a striking pattern in women’s negative experiences, the widespread use of practices not universally recommended by the WHO and a system under pressure.

#Meta is being sued by dozens of #employees who claim the company used #AI tools to target them for #layoffs after they took #maternity, #disability, or other #protectedleave. The lawsuit alleges that Meta’s AI systems, which use data like performance ratings and keystroke monitoring, disproportionately selected employees on leave for termination. The plaintiffs are seeking to stop the layoffs and are requesting an independent audit. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jul/14/meta-ai-mass-layoffs-lawsuit?AIagents.at #AIagent #AI #ML #NLP #LLM #GenAI

[weekly newsletter about #Cuba from the #BellyOfTheBeast #news collective]

Women and children have long been a priority of Cuba's universal #PublicHealth system, which operates more than 130 free #maternity homes for #women with high-risk pregnancies across the island.

But blackouts caused by the US #oil #blockade are leaving doctors, nurses and their patients in the dark.

Even as the Trump administration wages economic war on Cuba, people in the United States are stepping up to help sustain the island's beleaguered healthcare by bringing solar power to its maternity homes.

🧵2/2: on a more serious note, that means that #countbinface would trigger yet another #byelection if he wins, as clearly Harvey will not want to trade a #creative #comedy career for the constraints of an #MP's life. And that will weigh on his mind a bit, as he won't want to be in a position to abandon before the vote either, as this would be a double win for #NigelFarage. For info, no, MPs are not allowed to have stand-ins, not even to get a #maternity leave. https://research.mysociety.org/html/stand-in-mps/#different-approaches

There can be little doubt that there are serious problems in NHS maternity provision stemming from (but not limited to) the frequent disregard of mothers' own voices about their pre-birth health....

This is both a structural issue (compounded by the ongoing NHS crisis) and reflects women' experience of society & its structures, silences & barriers?

However, the more that it reflects the wider social/gnedered malaise the more difficult it will be to resolve.

The disaster zone that is/was Nottingham NHS Trust maternity care has now been revealed, and once again part of the problem is medical staff not listening to women in their care.... of course there are other factors at work, but the non-listening aspect seems common to most reports & inquiries into failings in health care.

This would seem like a pretty clear subject for staff development.... and an aspect that could be moved on pretty quickly.
