The White Ribbon Alliance envisions a world with a sufficient number of health workers, particularly midwives, that are better supported to ensure skilled maternity care for all women and their newborns. In order to achieve this key advocacy objective, WRA supports national level campaigns in persuading decision makers to take specific national actions to improve the numbers, distribution, working conditions and competency of health workers, with a specific focus on midwives.

In preparation for the International Day of the Midwife (May 5th), WRA is partnering with the International Confederation of Midwives to mobilize constituents and support advocacy efforts promoting midwifery as a profession and calling for more midwives, better supported.
