Help Send a Midwife to Congress! Support ICM’s Holiday Campaign 

This holiday season, the ICM invites you to support our WithWomen campaign by helping cover the costs of taking a midwife to Congress. Your donation will support midwives from low- and middle-income countries to attend the 34th ICM Triennial Congress in Lisbon in 2026 – the largest and most important global gathering of midwives.

For many midwives, especially students and those early in their careers, attending an ICM Congress is a big professional goal that can feel out of reach. Registration fees, visas, travel and accommodation are often simply too expensive. Through WithWomen, ICM wants to take as many midwives as possible to its global gatherings so that cost is not the reason they stay home.

When you give, you are not just helping a midwife travel to Lisbon. You are opening the door for them to:

• Learn from global experts and new research
• Build leadership skills and confidence
• Meet midwives from around the world and share experiences
• See new ideas in midwifery that they can adapt to their own context

They return home with practical skills, fresh motivation and a stronger voice to advocate for women, gender diverse people, newborns and their profession.
