About Black Maternal Health Week (BMHW): BMHW is observed every year from April 11–17, founded by the Black Mamas Matter Alliance to raise awareness and drive solutions to the Black maternal health crisis in the United States. This week is more than a campaign—it’s a movement rooted in reproductive justice, birth equity, and saving lives. Black Maternal Health Week exists because the numbers are alarming. Black women in the U.S. are 2–3 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women; many of these deaths are preventable, and disparities persist regardless of income or education level. This is not just a healthcare issue—it’s a systemic issue tied to racism, bias, and unequal access to quality care. Black Maternal Health Week is ultimately about valuing Black life at every stage—before, during, and after childbirth. It challenges a system that has too often ignored Black women’s pain and demands: Healthy mothers. Healthy babies. Healthy communities.
