Abstract
For 86 years—since its founding in 1919—the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) has been representing advocating for and advancing the profession of midwifery worldwide. Today 86 autonomous midwifery associations from more than 70 countries are members of ICM. The American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) was admitted into ICM membership in 1956 just 1 year after the founding of ACNM! Since that time ACNM has been one of the leading members of the ICM—both in sharing key documents for developing global initiatives and in taking on many leadership roles within the global arena. On the 50th anniversary of ACNM the leadership of the ICM is pleased to offer a brief commentary on the ICM’s important role in promoting the global agenda for women’s health with midwives as key partners.
