The Muslim Association of Coleraine hosted a community group to improve understanding of the religion and culture in the area
By Maria McCann"It is only through learning about each other that we can establish a better understanding."
"We're a lot more diverse, we're willing to include and we're trying to be equal to everybody in the town," she said. Dr Wali said he anticipated not everyone would feel the same, but that generally the community had been welcoming."Even people privately on their own have gone out of their way to teach them English to help them, especially around Christmas, they bring gifts to them… they are being welcomed and taken care of."The visit to the Coleraine Muslim Association was organised by Fergal Quinn, ethnic communities officer from the Building Communities Resource Centre.

The effects of pregnancy discrimination on postpartum depressive symptoms: a follow-up study - BMC Pregnancy and ChildbirthBackground Pregnancy discrimination in the workplace is prevalent worldwide. However, few studies have examined the effects of pregnancy discrimination on mothers’ perinatal mental health. We aimed to investigate the association between pregnancy discrimination and postpartum depressive symptoms, and the mediation effects of prenatal depressive symptoms on this association. Methods Our sample consisted of 285 Japanese women employed during pregnancy who completed a baseline online survey in May 2020 and a follow-up mail survey two months postpartum. Pregnancy discrimination was defined as exposure to any of 16 forms of disadvantageous treatment or harassment related to pregnancy, prohibited by national guidelines. Prenatal (assessed at baseline) and postpartum (assessed at follow-up) depressive symptoms were measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Multiple linear regression and mediation analyses were performed overall and stratified by regular (permanent) and non-regular (precarious) employees. Results Overall, 23.9% of participants experienced pregnancy discrimination during pregnancy. After adjusting for potential confounders, pregnancy discrimination was significantly associated with postpartum depressive symptoms (coefficient 1.76, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.65–2.88). When stratified by employment type, these effects were observable among non-regular employees (coefficient 2.51, 95% CI 0.45–4.57) but not regular employees. Mediation analysis showed that prenatal depressive symptoms mediated 57.1% (95% CI 20.1–94.1%) of the association between pregnancy discrimination and postpartum depressive symptoms among all participants, with a greater effect among non-regular employees (64.1% [95% CI 18.5–109.8%]). Conclusions Pregnancy discrimination has adverse effects on postpartum depressive symptoms, partially through prenatal depressive symptoms, especially among non-regular employees. To prevent perinatal depression in female workers, employers
