The case is clear: midwifery-led care is one of the most effective health strategies. Great to address parliamentarians at #ICM2026. With strong political leadership, we can set health systems up for success. We know what works – midwives. Let’s invest in them to save lives.

The 34th International Confederation of Midwives Congress is a moment to reaffirm our commitment to the midwifery workforce and to the women, newborns and families they serve. When we invest in midwives, we invest in women, in resilience and in the future. #ICM2026

Our goals at @UNFPA are simple, but their impact is profound: every pregnancy wanted, every childbirth safe, every young person’s potential fulfilled, and everyone counted – because everyone counts. My remarks at the #UNFPAEB: unf.pa/EB26

At the #FeministFPSpain2026 conference this week, this message was clear: Attacks against women are not isolated incidents, they are part of the attack on democracy. More from our conversations in #Madrid in @el_pais: unf.pa/elp26 elpais.com/planeta-futuro…
“Los ataques contra las mujeres no están aislados. Son parte del ataque contra la democracia”
