Dr Carol Homden, Chief Executive, Coram

Chaired by Professor Judith Rankin, Professor of Maternal and Child Health

Children don’t have rights if women don’t. Join us and the CEO of Coram, the first and longest-serving children’s charity in the UK, to explore the ongoing struggle for a just and equitable society. Engaging with the new Coram Digital Archive, the discussion will situate the Foundling Hospital and the progressive legacy of Thomas Coram within a broader historical framework, emphasizing their unique contributions to advancing care and justice, and setting out what must still be done to honour the inseparable rights of women and children.
