Woman-Centred Care in Action: Midwives at the Forefront of Gender Equality

Dear women’s health champions and allies,

We are writing to invite you to the following two events:

In honour of International Women’s Day, join ICM and fellow advocates as we kick-off the second phase of the PUSH Campaign with a panel discussion and reception:

08 March 2025 from 6-9 pm

Manhattan, New York | (Upon registration, location sent for in-person participants and live-stream link for virtual participants)

Join panellists Tlaleng Mofokeng (UN Special Rapporteur for the Right to Health), Maliha Khan (Women Deliver), Helena Grant (New York Midwives), Meggy Katigbak (ARROW), who will discuss why woman-centred care is everyone's business, and why midwives matter now, more than ever. RSVP using this link by Thursday, 06 March 2025. Please see the attached flyer for additional details.

In honour of the 69th session of the Commission on the Status of Women, the Permanent Mission of Croatia and the International Confederation of Midwives’ PUSH Campaign are proud to present a photo exhibit titled

Woman-Centred Care in Action: Midwives at the Forefront of Gender Equality

UN Building, Corridor 1B

10-21 March 2025

We invite you to visit the exhibit and reflect on its powerful message: there is no gender equality without woman-centred care or midwives. The relationship between midwives and women has ripple effects on gender equality, health, economics, and rights.

Attached is the flyer with additional information.

We appreciate your kind dissemination among your networks, delegations, and interested colleagues.

Many thanks and best regards,

Merette Khalil (she/her)
