We are thrilled to reveal the official theme for Black Maternal Health Week 2024
(#BMHW24): “Our Bodies STILL Belong to Us: Reproductive Justice NOW!” Widespread
restrictions on abortion care access coupled with rising cases of
criminalization due to pregnancy loss continue to widen the gaps of adverse
maternal and birth outcomes in the U.S. Many of the states with the most
restrictive abortion bans have the worst maternal and child health outcomes and
the least supportive social welfare and family support programs, particularly
for Black women and birthing people. The time is NOW to demand for comprehensive
public and private insurance coverage for maternal, sexual, and reproductive
health care; improving access to care across geographies and birth settings;
issuing guidance to health care providers, institutions, insurance companies,
and related entities on providing equitable, high-quality, patient-centered
care; and funding research and programs that center and utilize scholarship of
Black women and birthing people, as fully described in BMMA’s comprehensive
Policy Agenda.

BMMA continues to highlight and center culturally-congruent practices with a
focus on Black Midwifery care and full-spectrum Black-led Doula care as sound,
evidence-based solutions. Most importantly, these are practices and solutions
that incorporate the true needs, wants, and desires of Black women and birthing
people.

Held annually on April 11-17th, BMHW is a week-long campaign founded and led by
the Black Mamas Matter Alliance to build awareness, activism, and
community-building to amplify the voices, perspectives and lived experiences of
Black Mamas and birthing people. The week is intentionally held during National
Minority Health Month and begins on April 11th annually to join dozens of global
organizations in marking this day as International Day for Maternal Health and
Rights – an opportunity to advocate for the elimination of maternal mortality
globally. The activities and conversations hosted throughout the week
intentionally center the values and traditions of the reproductive and birth
justice movements.
