Founded by Black Mamas Matter Alliance (BMMA), Black Maternal Health Week (BMHW) is a week of awareness, activism, and community-building aimed at amplifying the voices of Black Mamas and centering the values and traditions of the reproductive and birth justice movements. BMHW is held annually April 11th thru 17th during National Minority Health Month.
This , we are claiming the right to live and thrive despite racism, poverty, and structural policies that affect our access to quality and equitable reproductive health care. We are incorporating the frameworks of human rights, social justice, and feminist theories of intersectionality into our activism, outreach, and scholarship. This , supports us and BMMA in the movement for better maternal, reproductive, and birth outcomes for Black Mamas and Birthing People.
Black Maternal Health Week highlights the barriers Black mothers and birthing people face when it comes to quality maternal care.
