SUMMARY:Indigenous Midwifery: Autonomy\, Epistemic Justice\, and the Right to Indigenous Health Systems
DESCRIPTION:Indigenous Traditional Midwifery is a foundational pillar of Indigenous Peoples’ health systems across the Americas\, rooted in spirituality\, territorial relationships\, community care\, and intergenerational knowledge. This UNPFII side event will highlight Indigenous midwifery as a legitimate and culturally grounded expression of self-determination\, while addressing key challenges such as regulation\, criminalization\, and structural subordination. Co-organized by the International Funders for Indigenous Peoples (IFIP)\, W.K. Kellogg Foundation\, Indigenous Determinants of Health Alliance (IDHA)\, and the Continental Alliance for Indigenous Midwives in the Americas\, the session will advance dialogue on epistemic justice\, medical pluralism\, and concrete policy recommendations to strengthen recognition and protection of Indigenous health systems. \nLocation: Conference Room 5\, 777 United Nations Plaza

SUMMARY:Advancing Indigenous Midwifery through Policy\, Research\, and Advocacy
DESCRIPTION:Traditional Indigenous midwifery is essential to Indigenous Peoples’ health\, cultural continuity\, and community resilience\, yet it remains widely under-recognized in national and international health policies. This event will bring together Indigenous midwives\, advocates\, and key international agencies to advance legal recognition\, protect midwives’ rights\, and promote culturally safe and autonomous care for Indigenous women and communities. Building on UNPFII recommendations from 2024–2025\, the discussion will highlight the need for stronger policy frameworks\, increased funding for Indigenous-led initiatives\, and the integration of Indigenous midwifery into health systems through ethical guidance\, intercultural training\, and evidence-based advocacy grounded in Indigenous-led research. \nLocation: 8th Floor – Boss Room\, 777 United Nations Plaza
