About

Why Midwifery is an advocacy organization dedicated to improving maternal and infant health outcomes through promoting and honoring midwifery care. The organization focuses on three pillars: Education (equitable access to midwifery education and awareness), Empowerment (advocating for policies and practices that restore midwifery care to a prominent role in maternal health), and Community (building coalitions to advance equitable access to midwifery care and mitigate maternal health disparities). They envision an equitable society where midwifery care is accessible to all, particularly addressing the disproportionate maternal mortality rates affecting Black women in the United States.
