Men and Masculine Identifying Doula Training Orientation

Why It's Important:

Engaging men in the traditionally feminine healing practice of doula work is essential for dismantling gender norms and promoting inclusivity. Men, equipped with a feminist and womanist framework, can contribute to the re-humanization of childbirth by fostering empathetic, respectful, and culturally sensitive support. Their involvement challenges stereotypes, promotes gender equality, and ultimately enhances the birthing experience for all individuals involved. By embracing diverse perspectives in doula care, we move toward a more equitable and compassionate approach to reproductive health.
