251. Are There Two Distinct Feminine Wounds Under Patriarchy?

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1805042/fan_mail/new">Join the conversation by letting us know what you think about the episode!</a> *** Correction: &quot;I did notice one mistake at the end of the conversation regarding a statistic. I said that maternal mortality is 4 women per 1,000 live births in The Netherlands versus 1,000 out of 1,000 live births in other countries. What I meant to say was 4 per 100,000 and 1,000 per 100,000 live births.&quot; - Liselotte May 5 is International Day of the Midwife and the theme this year is &quot;One Million More Midwives&quot;. The message is simple but urgent: the world is facing a critical shortage of midwives, and without investment in the workforce, women and newborns will continue to pay the price. Every two minutes, a woman dies from pregnancy or childbirth complications, most of them preventable. Evidence shows that with one million more midwives, we could prevent 67% of maternal deaths, 64% of newborn deaths and 65% of stillbirths — saving more than 4.3 million lives by 2035. To discuss all of this and more, our guest this week is Liselotte Kweekel - a midwife with 15 years of experience in community-based care in the Netherlands, including home births and running an independent midwifery practice. She currently works as a Midwife Advisor at the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM). Alongside her clinical work, Liselotte has worked for and with midwives’ associations for many years, supporting their development and strengthening their role at national and international level. She has extensive experience building partnerships through twinning, supporting long-term exchange, learning, and collaboration between midwives across different countries and care settings. In recent years, her work has focused on supporting midwives and midwives’ associations in humanitarian and crisis-affected contexts, working closely with UN partners and national stakeholders to strengthen midwifery leadership and response capacity. Liselotte also volunteers with Doctors of the World in the Netherlands, supporting undocumented migrants in accessing appropriate sexual and reproductive healthcare. She is also a mother of two daughters.Where to find more information:International Confederation of Midwives website: https://millionmore.org/ICM petition: https://millionmore.org/petition/Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/world_midwives/'>https://www.instagram.com/world_midwives/</a>LinkedIn: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/company/international-confederation-of-midwives/posts/?feedView=all'>https://www.linkedin.com/company/international-confederation-of-midwives/posts/?feedView=all</a><a rel="payment" href="https://linktr.ee/madnesscafepodcast?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&amp;ltsid=2e0e0e5c-c1c8-488d-b8ce-c1afd8bbddb7">Support the show</a> Be part of the conversation by sharing your thoughts about this episode, what you may have learned, how the conversation affected you.
