Black Maternal Health Awareness Week
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 more than that of White women.
• 43% of Black women have reported feeling discriminated against during their maternity care, with Race being 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 will match every donation, as we do with all cashback donations, 100%. Your generosity will have twice the impact, supporting vital work to improve maternal health.
Other ways you can get involved this week:
- Learn about the challenges regarding 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.
