Day 11 of our Christmas Countdown 

Earlier this year RWC was involved in the Threads of Protest: Human Rights in Childbirth crochet exhibition with Dr Gemma McKenzie and King’s College London. Gemma led crochet workshops at our drop-in, teaching women how to crochet granny squares. Gemma also worked with one of our service users, Mezkin, through regular sessions Mezkin shared her experience of giving birth to her daughter and the trauma she experienced. The incredibly talented artist Madeleine Famurewa created the amigrumi crochet piece ‘The child screams in her mother’s lap’ to depict Mezkin’s experience.
