“My daughter Madison was born still. Stillbirth shattered my world. The silence is isolating." Henderson Lafond reflects on #stillbirth as a #SocialJustice issue. She calls for urgency, visibility & change to do better; every baby matters. #EndStillbirths #HealthyBeginnings #HopefulFutures #IamISA

“My twins died before they could take their first breath. My babies mattered and I’ll never stop saying their names.” Stillbirth isn’t rare. It happens every day, quietly & invisibly. Michelle La Fontaine, bereaved parent from Canada #EndStillbirths #HealthyBeginnings #HopefulFutures #IamISA

"My baby Amani died. It broke me, but also led me to advocate for better." Vivian's story is one of heartbreak & hope. No one should lose a baby because care was too late. #Stillbirths are preventable with better care, systems and justice. #HealthyBeginnings #HopefulFutures #IamISA #EndStillbirths

Pregnancy should be joyful. But for many in Africa, it’s filled with anxiety, loss, and injustice. Linda Vanotoo reminds us that #stillbirth is preventable. The time to act is now. #EndStillbirths #HealthyBeginnings #HopefulFutures #IamISA

We don’t talk enough about #stillbirth. Not in health policy. Not in global reports. Not where it matters most. But families never forget. I'm speaking up as part of the #IAmISA campaign. More at @isastillbirth.bsky.social #EndStillbirths #HealthyBeginnings #HopefulFutures

“Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.” #Stillbirth is a silent crisis—1.9 million babies lost each year. @aleenawoj.bsky.social reminds us: this is about real babies, real families, and real injustice. #IamISA #EndStillbirths #HealthyBeginnings #HopefulFutures

I choose to talk about my experience because #stillbirth cannot be tiptoed around or whispered about as “unimaginable.” Babies are #stillborn at alarming rates worldwide. It is a public health crisis. Parents are grieving and traumatized. #IamISA #EndStillbirths #HopefulFutures

“I first learned about stillbirth at the time that I had one” @dramybowers.bsky.social - a psychologist and bereaved mother - shares how denial and silence surround #stillbirth. She’s breaking the #stigma. #IamISA #EndStillbirths #HopefulFutures

Our board member Odessa Omanyo is a neonatal clinical instructor. She cared for a mother who lost her baby at 28 weeks - mocked for her grief, told she was “planting coffins instead of crops.” #Stillbirth is a global injustice. Help us #BreakTheSilence #EndStillbirths #HopefulFutures #IamISA
