Atlanta Zwar

Atlanta is a midwife with over 13 years of clinical experience and a strong commitment to maternal health. She holds a Master’s in Primary Maternity Care, with a thesis focused on women’s sexual health in the first year postpartum following severe perineal trauma.

Alongside her clinical work, Atlanta is a midwifery educator at a university in Melbourne, where she teaches and mentors students and hospital staff. Her dual role allows her to combine evidence-based practice with compassionate care, supporting the next generation of midwives.

Having spent much of her youth in Africa, Atlanta has long felt called to contribute to communities with limited access to maternal healthcare. In 2019, she volunteered at the Barbara May Foundation’s Vision Maternity Care Hospital in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia – an experience that deepened her commitment to global maternal health.

Atlanta continues to support the work of the Barbara May Foundation through fundraising and advocacy, and in her role as an Ambassador. In 2024, she led a Mount Kilimanjaro climb in Tanzania, raising nearly $28,000 to improve women’s health across Africa.

Atlanta believes deeply that every woman, regardless of geography or circumstance, deserves access to a safe, respectful, and dignified birth.
