The question of recognition of midwifery as a male
The question of recognition of midwifery as a male
François works as a midwife at the maternity ward of the Croix-Rousse hospital. Five men worked in this profession in Lyon, 80 in France for every 15,000 women. At the beginning of his career, he struggled to find a position in the hospital, as many department heads were suspicious of men giving birth. He thinks that the fact that the profession has long been exclusively female has served the profession. Occupational inequalities between men and women, both in pay and in the distribution of responsibilities, tend to change, but very slowly. The problem of the status of midwives, whatever their gender, remains the main demand of striking practitioners.
