Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

DONA International’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee has embarked on a journey of exploring the many facets of being intercultural with the goal of amplifying all doulas and the families they serve worldwide. We feel strongly that we all have a great deal to learn. With great expectation, we seek to bring forth programs and opportunities that will enrich our doulas and the communities they serve.  Cultural, racial, ethnic and ability diversity along with understanding is a necessity as we look to achieve birth equity.

DONA International is committed to developing an organization that fosters anti-racism and cultural sensitivity for our members & the families and communities that we serve.  To contribute to the many efforts to eradicate the perinatal mortality crisis in the U.S. we recognize an immediate need to helping to diversify the doula profession.
