Today starts National Midwifery Week! I became a midwife for several reasons: ▫️to be a Professional Feminist ▫️to work in a sexual health setting ▫️to support survivors of sexual assault and ensure they receive consensual care ▫️to support women’s choices regarding their own health ▫️to work in a female-dominated field #midwivesmakeadifference #nmw2018 #midwife #midwifery #midwifical #midwives #midwifelife #midwivesrock #feministmidwife #midwiferycare #nationalmidwiferyweek https://www.instagram.com/p/BoWxn6slpZs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14lcz8gqe05wt
