Juno Carey is a midwife practitioner who has worked in abortion care for the last eight years, having been a midwife in the NHS for several years before that.

She is a vocal campaigner for reproductive rights as part of her work, and lives in Sussex with her wife and children. She wanted to write her memoir A Necessary Kindness: Stories From the Frontline of Abortion Care to counter the stigma and misunderstandings that abound around the topic of abortion, a health procedure that will be needed by a third of women in their lifetime.

Her powerful debut book will be published by Atlantic Books in March 2024.
