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)

A Workforce Strategy for Adult Social Care in England

"For the first time ever, the adult social care sector has come together, led by Skills for Care, to develop the Workforce Strategy it needs. Adult social care needs a workforce strategy to ensure we have enough of the right people with the right skills to provide the best possible care and support for the people who draw on it. 

Development of this vital Strategy has been truly collaborative and it could not have been developed without the expertise, time and commitment of many stakeholders."

PHI MAGAZINE (Φ) - Liminal Issue [i]

 Submissions are OFFICIALLY open for our Liminal Issue.

The word ‘Liminal’ encompasses the quality of ambiguity or disorientation that occurs in the transitional stage of a process, boundary, or threshold. It comes from the Latin word līmen, relating to participants of rites of passage who no longer hold their pre-ritual status but have not yet begun the transition to the status they will hold when the rite is complete. During a rite's liminal stage, participants stand at the threshold. In many ways, this is where the world stands today.

We take all kinds of submissions: prose, photography, poetry, painting, opinion pieces, film or music—you make it, we want to publish it!

Submit to us before 14/02/2022 to be considered for our Liminal Issue.

Submit here: https://phimag.org/submit

For enquiries: submissions.phimag AT gmail.com

n.b. I will add a further post to relate the above call to threshold concepts and Hodges' model.

How can maps provide motivation?

"The class of maps that go beyond navigation to consolidate thought and convey a message belong to the broader class of infographics that aggregate words and numbers in a visual medium. While charts and graphs are often used to show progress to a goal, nothing personalizes the objective like measuring status, and revealing shortcomings, on a map."

-- Matt Ball, editor, the Americas / Asia Pacific
