Midwifery care is focused on the unique needs, hopes and aspirations of individual women, rather
than the needs of the midwifery profession or institution. The International Confederation of
Midwives supports a partnership philosophy of women-centeredness, cultural sensitivity and
normalcy around birth; promotion of self-care, and the right to self-determination (International
Confederation of Midwives, 2017). The oft-cited woman-centered characterization of care proposed

individual preferences and needs during the provision of care. the goal of empowering women to feel
confident in their own abilities to give birth. Empowerment of women is achieved through building
trust, building relationships and working in mutually respectful partnerships empowerment,
