Description
Launch website. We are a collective of birth workers, midwives, doula’s, researchers, artists and activists. Over the years, we have witnessed a growing evidence basis for a unique midwifery perspective on sexual, reproductive, maternal and newborn care, including data confirming the safety of homebirth, the importance of continuity of care and carer, and the value of a noninterventionist approach for facilitating intrapartum care. However, this convincing biomedical and epidemiological research—supporting the value of uninterrupted, physiological birth—has not resulted in clinical change largely, we argue, because of the marginalized position of midwifery globally. We intend to change that.
