Even when not able to attend the ICM Congress, some midwives understand the incredible value of gifting this opportunity to someone else.

You can also do the same to support a midwife from low- and middle-income countries to participate to Congress this June.

we stand together to say NO to cyberbullying, NO to hate, and NO to the intimidation of women and girls.
