The world needs one million more midwives
We’ve launched a global petition calling on policymakers to grow, support, and sustain the global midwifery workforce — ensuring every woman and gender diverse person can access safe, respectful, high-quality midwife care.
We are the global voice of midwives
We work with midwives and midwives’ associations globally to ensure that women and gender diverse people have access to a midwife’s care before, during and after childbirth. We advocate for midwives to practise the full scope of our profession, providing education, sexual and reproductive health services and newborn care.
