Support Milli Hill

Keep Milli Hill as Keynote Speaker at Midwifery Conference

A campaign has been launched against Milli Hill, an author and founder of the Positive Birth Movement, who has expressed concern on the erasure of women’s language from maternity care. There are calls to deplatform Milli as a key note speaker at the New Zealand College of Midwives (NZCOM) event in November. There is now a counter petition to support Milli.
