Still Aware

Still Aware is a charity organisation which attempts to raise awareness of stillbirth[1] as a national issue in Australia, since stillbirth rates in the country are high for a developed nation.[2] It is Australia's first stillbirth awareness organization[3] and the first not-for-profit charity solely dedicated to ending preventable stillbirths.[4]

Mission

The organization is committed to raising awareness and breaking the taboo surrounding stillbirth, encouraging parents to speak of their experiences.[5] It also works towards preventing stillbirth through education for mothers, families and health clinics. They actively lobby for stillbirth to be listed and remain on the policy agenda at a national level in Australia. It works to gather and report data of care provisions already offered internationally, but which are not offered to Australian patients yet.[6]

gollark: Wow, there are *no* players on.
gollark: 32 bytes at once are bubblesorted, and then a 16-way merge of the chunks is done.
gollark: SIMD is excellent for performance. I have a highly good SIMD bubblesort/mergesort implementation.
gollark: True.
gollark: The good mining things are fancy and GPU-accelerated, so it probably isn't worth writing your own code for this unless you can GPUs.
