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.
Removing access to #abortion care will put more women & girls at risk of illegal abortions and the consequent safety issues that would bring https://t.co/tbsMFGQAn4
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.

Midwives keep winning in the fight to close the gender pay gap.
The Ontario government has lost a second legal appeal, this time with the highest court in the province.

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
