In the work of a midwife there are times when certain boundaries are set to treat women with respect and care in certain aspects of their lives, such as maintaining women's dignity in a foreign hospital environment. It is proven that when women do not have their specific needs or desires met, they may resort to other techniques to get what they want, thus leading to avoidance and comparison (Clark, 2010). Another quality is providing a therapeutic relationship with women. According to Widang et al (2008) when women are treated as individuals and not as objects to be treated, their experiences during pregnancy, labor and their choices are highly valued. This allows women to feel inclusive throughout their pregnancy journey, although women encountering discrimination and disrespect would increase the possibility of negative experiences, so they would need more support to overcome certain problems. Therefore, for women to feel safe and participate without fear, effective communication between healthcare providers is necessary for better care. Ultimately, it is important that healthcare professionals reinforce the need for evidence-based practice and overcome the obstacles that midwives will face in their practices. These include the provision of an appropriate care model
