foundation of a strong family, a coherent community and a peaceful world is found in the literal birth of the individual. With Woman was established to promote a mothers’ right to give birth in a safe and nurturing environment, and for babies to be welcomed to the world gently, in calm and loving surroundings.
We believe that we will best accomplish these goals by promoting the
midwifery model of care through the support of working midwives, the provision of training for future midwives, and the establishment and support of
birth centers and home birth care in communities around the world.
