International Midwive's [sic] Day

Abstract:

Last year the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) theme was Equity for Women. The ICM urged midwives to highlight issues of unequal status of women within their countries and to bring these to the attention of their governments. To date, the ICM theme has not yet been published. However, in view of the fact that during 1997 there has been no improvement in the status of mothers and babies, and since it is important to get publicity into the hands of the media early, we in the Auckland Region are proceeding with the unresolved 1997 foci - Breastfeeding and Paid Maternity leave.
