Access to contraception remains out of reach for too many. Around 257 million women still have unmet family planning needs, and 45% of abortions are not safe. Midwives are key to closing this gap. They can deliver 90% of essential sexual and reproductive health services —

They are heroes who:
✅ Prevent unwanted pregnancies
✅ Support survivors of violence
✅ Reduce unnecessary C-sections
✅ Provide sex education
