Today is International Day of the Midwife, and the evidence is in: investing in saves lives, improves health and strengthens health systems.

To achieve our full life-saving, health-improving, system-strengthening potential, must be well educated, adequately trained, and appropriately regulated.

The time for change is now! As a result of harmful and outdated gender norms, midwifery and the role of caring for women and newborns is widely undervalued across society.

Investing in midwives can accelerate the human rights agenda. Midwives are one of the most cost-effective strategies to achieving full sexual and reproductive health coverage and reproductive freedom for women and all who give birth.

Midwives are central figures in the fight for the rights of women, children and communities. All too often, they are deprived of their own rights: to rest and selfcare, to decent work and pay, and protection from discrimination.
