More funding for more midwives.
The global shortage of 900,000 #midwives is endangering the lives of women & newborns. Midwives improve health and prevent death — governments must invest in increasing this vital health workforce #PUSHForMidwives: @pushcampaignorg
Improved gender norms
Midwives accelerate the human rights agenda by ensuring a route to reproductive freedom for women. Simply put, investing in midwives is investing in a profession of gender equality advocates, & the rights of women at birth and beyond.
Improved education and training
To elevate women’s voices in leadership, midwives need more educational opportunities, clear pathways to promotion, and established positions in government #PUSHForMidwives: @pushcampaignorg
Status, respect and autonomy
When midwives lead, women everywhere win. Including midwives in leadership puts women’s rights on the health agenda. #PUSHForMidwives @pushcampaignorg
Better pay and working conditions
Midwives are central to the fight for the rights of women, children & communities. All too often, they are deprived of their own rights: to rest & self-care, decent work & pay, & protection from discrimination. #PUSHForMidwives: @pushcampaignorg
It's Time To
Push for Women's Rights

#PUSHForMidwives by amplifying the push campaign goals
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.
