Un homenaje a las parteras de Matagalpa - Nicaragua

Las parteras tradicionales de las regiones rurales de Nicaragua aprenden sus habilidades de sus madres y abuelas, a menudo sin formación médica. Con compromiso, empatía y muchos conocimientos ancestrales, atienden a las mujeres embarazadas en lugares donde no hay posibilidad de acudir a médicos y hospitales. El Colectivo de Mujeres de Matagalpa, proyecto asociado a la Fundación die schwelle, refuerza a las mujeres en su trabajo y las apoya con formación continua.
