BWP: Maternal Mortality: Address the Pipeline of Sexual Abuse to Poor Maternal Health Outcomes
Black Women’s Blueprint coined the Sexual Abuse to Maternal Mortality Pipeline (SAMM), the result of a six-year national sexual assault and GBV intervention process to collect survivor narratives as a Black Women’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
In this live webinar we will discuss:
Existing barriers to vital healthcare and reproductive counseling and how to break down said barriers for patients before they enter the building.
Roles that physicians, healthcare professionals, and advocates play in prevention and intervention
Ways to actively dismantle sexual and reproductive violence as an adherent to societal culture which upholds norms that devalue women’s bodies and diminish their agency as self-possessed people with knowledge of their bodily needs and limits.
