Thank you to everyone who has signed the petition. We now have over 500 signatures in just two days.

You might think that signing a petition has a small impact but your gestures of solidarity have moved Priya's Mum to tears, she said to me "never before in my life have I had so many people stand up for me. Wonderful human beings I have never even met, are speaking up for me and for other women in similar situations. I feel seen, I feel heard, I feel validated, I feel respected, I feel grateful. I feel like my baby mattered and still does". We have read every single one of your comments.

Thanks to Kara who pointed us to a website in the UK explaining that
"A stillbirth (a loss after the 24th week of pregnancy, up to and including birth in the UK) or a loss just after birth, gives full entitlement of your maternity rights". If it can be done there, it can be done here. To have that kind of impact, we need a lot more signatures still.

What we would love now is for those of you who have signed, if you haven't already, to please share the petition on social media, facebook, instagram, x etc.

Priya's Dad
