Black Maternal Health Awareness Week
Community, 1 min read
This Black Maternal Health Awareness Week, we are proud to work alongside Five X More in raising awareness and taking action against the stark disparities in maternal health outcomes for Black mothers.
- Black women in the UK experience a maternal mortality rate nearly five times that of White women.
- 43% of Black women have reported feeling discriminated against during their maternity care, with race the most commonly cited reason.
- Globally, the likelihood of pregnancy-related deaths for Black women is over four times greater than for their White counterparts.
Your online shopping can be a force for good this week, because when you donate your cashback rewards from CashBlack to Five X More, we match the donation, as we do with every cashback donation. Your generosity has twice the impact, supporting vital work to improve maternal health.
Other ways you can get involved this week:
- Learn about the challenges in Black maternal health and share your knowledge.
- Advocate for better policies by reaching out to your representatives.
- Use #BMHAW24 to amplify this message.
Stand with us as we support Black mothers and their families. Your voice and actions are crucial for driving positive change.
