Happy International Day of the Midwife.
To all the midwives providing safe, respectful, person-centred maternity care. Empowering women and birthing people in their journeys as they cross the threshold. You make all the difference.
To all the midwives walking alongside women and birthing people.
To all midwives advocating for bodily autonomy and informed choice.
To all the midwives working unsafe hours and in understaffed teams.
To all the midwives no longer practicing.
To all the student midwives giving everything you can, when you may or may not have a job at the end of your training.
We see you. We stand with you. Thank you.
Follow and to stay up to date with the campaign to improve working conditions for midwives.
