For Midwives

SCROLL DOWN

About push campaign

The evidence is in: Midwives are critical to improving sexual and reproductive health access and outcomes, reducing maternal mortality, and saving newborn lives. They delivered us, now let’s deliver for them.

PUSH is a decade-long global movement for women and the midwives who protect and uphold their rights and bodily autonomy.

PUSH will accelerate progress on reducing maternal and neonatal mortality, advance SRHR, address key barriers to women’s leadership in the global health workforce, and shift underlying gender norms that undervalue women’s rights, lives, and work.

The Ambitious goals will work towards

Averting 67% of maternal deaths
Saving 1.37 million lives per year
Reducing abortions by 15 million
