Jen Hall is The MASIC Foundation’s Digital Communications and Campaign Manager.

Having suffered a 3rd degree OASI birth injury sustained during a forceps delivery, she is dedicated to campaigning for greater recognition of the immediate and long-term consequences of birth injuries, and for all women to be informed of the risks of instrumental delivery.

She co-ordinated the new MASIC website and rebranding project in 2021, and is passionate about using social media to empower women to tell their stories.

She recently co-authored a MASIC-led research paper examining the impact of women’s injuries on their physical and mental health and the health of their children: The impact of severe perineal trauma on a woman’s relationship with her child: a hidden consequence
