As we observe Black Maternal Health Week, we are reminded of the urgent need to address the disparities and challenges that Black women face during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. This week, spanning from April 11th to April 17th, serves as a poignant reminder of the work that still needs to be done to ensure equitable and safe maternal health outcomes for all.

At ITAVFoundation, we stand committed to supporting the health and well-being of women of color (WOC), immigrants, and minority individuals who are pregnant or postpartum. Our mission is deeply rooted in providing a nurturing and educational environment for everyone, including teenagers, to make informed and healthy choices regarding their reproductive health.

We recognize the intersecting factors of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and systemic biases that contribute to the alarming disparities in maternal health outcomes. Through advocacy, education, and community support, we strive to dismantle these barriers and create a future where every woman receives the care and support she deserves.

During this Black Maternal Health Week, let’s come together to amplify the voices of Black mothers, advocate for policy changes, and support initiatives that prioritize maternal health equity. Together, we can work towards a future where every mother, regardless of race or background, experiences a safe and empowering childbirth journey.
