The ANMF has launched a Nurses and Midwives for Peace campaign – a space for action, reflection, and support.

Across the globe, conflict and war are tearing communities apart, and at the heart of these humanitarian crises are nurses and midwives.

Despite the protections enshrined in the Geneva Conventions, healthcare facilities continue to be targeted in war zones. In Gaza alone, over 94% of health services have been destroyed or rendered inoperable since October 2023. Hospitals have been bombed. Ambulances fired on. Nurses, midwives, doctors killed while trying to save lives. These attacks are not just violations of international law — they are attacks on our profession, on humanity, and on the principle that healthcare must remain neutral and protected.

As nurses and midwives, we are bound by a commitment to health, healing, and human rights. That commitment doesn’t stop at borders.

Now is the time to raise our collective voice – not just for peace, but for our colleagues dedicated to care under immense circumstances.

Let’s stand together. For peace. For protection. For each other.
