🌍 Happy International Day of the Midwife!!! 🩺👶🏽❤️
Today and every May 5th, we honor the dedicated midwives who provide compassionate, skilled, and respectful care to women, birthing folkx, babies, and families worldwide before, during, and after birth!
Midwives are essential to healthy pregnancies, safe births, and strong communities. This year we are amplifying the global movement One Million More Midwives, which calls for an additional one million midwives worldwide to meet the full range of sexual, reproductive, maternal, newborn, and adolescent health needs of women and gender-diverse people.
Investing in midwifery education, support, and leadership isn't just vital for maternal and newborn health, it's one of the most impactful ways to save lives and build healthier societies!
In honor of this day, we’re incredibly proud to be featured in the powerful documentary Deliver Us. The film follows visionary Black midwives confronting the maternal health crisis and creating community-centered models of care.
Though this screening is sold out, we still invite you to join the waitlist by commenting “Deliver Us” below and follow for updates on future screenings and film festival showings!! 👀
To everyone who secured tickets so far, we are so excited to celebrate with you tonight!
And a HUGE hank you to every midwife for the lifesaving, life-changing work you do every day!!
Let’s stand together: We need One Million More Midwives!
