Celebrate and support a midwife
According to the State of the World’s Midwifery report, in 2021, midwives can provide 90% of essential care related to sexual, reproductive, maternal, newborn, and adolescent health throughout life. However, due to sexism and gender norms, midwives and their role of caring for women and newborns are undervalued.
The Support, a Midwife Advocacy Project, focuses on recognizing, rewarding and celebrating the significance and skills of midwives as front-line health workers and in reducing maternal mortality.
