Today we celebrate World Doula Day, marking the beginning of World Doula Week (March 22–28) 🌱
☀️ Chosen to align with the spring equinox, this day symbolizes fertility, balance, and new beginnings—a powerful reflection of the work doulas do in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care.
🌍 A little history:
World Doula Day began in Israel, with the very first Doula Day celebrated on March 22, 2011. The initiative was founded by Ruti Karni Horowitz, who invited CAPPA to join the project—an invitation they embraced with passion and enthusiasm. From the very beginning, the vision was clear: this day would not belong to one organization, but would honor ALL doulas and doula organizations worldwide.
Today, we recognize doulas everywhere for the critical role they play—offering emotional, physical, and informational support, improving birth outcomes, and ensuring families feel seen, heard, and supported during one of life’s most transformative moments.
