Janipher's story in The Guardian

You may recall the campaign to reunite a young Ugandan woman, Janipher Maseko, with her children. See my past blog at:

Janipher is now living with her children in a one-bedroom flat, awaiting the outcome of her asylum application.

You can read her story, as told to The Guardian (24 November), at:

Many thanks to everyone who sent messages to politicians and officials.

We continue to support campaigns on similar cases where authorities do not recognise the right of mothers to breastfeed or provide expressed milk to their babies. A current case concerns a mother whose child was removed by Essex social services. See:
