International Homebirth Day is observed worldwide every June 6. It was established in 2012 to promote mothers’ right to choose their birthing location and to acknowledge the dedication of home birth midwives. The day highlights the benefits of giving birth at home, where the environment can be more familiar and comfortable for the mother. Home births can be planned or unplanned and may be attended by healthcare professionals, such as licensed midwives, or occur without assistance. Supporters argue that women should have the autonomy to decide where and how to give birth, emphasizing that low-risk pregnancies can be safely managed at home with proper planning and resources. The observance of this day underscores the importance of reproductive rights and the need for informed choices in childbirth.
