We regret that political limitations on our international Congress have resulted in the exclusion of our member association, the Israel Midwives' Association.

This occurrence has NOT been a reflection of ICM’s relationship w/ midwives in Israel. 👇💙🇮🇱

Safe abortion care is essential to protect the health of women & girls everywhere.

Paramedic Kate M. recently took this beautiful shot of a rainbow in Fenwick, near Amherst. Thanks, Kate! #MyEMSDay #PrideMonth

[Nova Scotia Midwives @MidwivesNS]

We support @world_midwives call on governments to defend safe access to abortion care. Access to safe and legal abortion is a human right. There is a self referral line (1-833-352-0719) for information about accessing an abortion in all areas of NS.

[Canadian Association of Midwives @Canadamidwives]

Yesterday, the highest court in Ontario ruled in midwives’ favour. Again! Time for the Ontario government to stop wasting tax payers’ money fighting the province's own Human Rights Code. #NoMoreAppeals #MidwivesKeepWinning #canadianmidwives
