What do we want?

We have 4 main asks from the campaign:

1. We want decision makers to acknowledge the disparity between Black women and their white counterparts in their pregnancy and childbirth experiences with the NHS and commit to addressing this issue and closing the gap. 

2. We want decision makers and NHS to recognise that Black Women are often not given the right information to make informed decisions about their pregnancy and childbirth. On this, we want them to ensure more is done to ensure Black Women can advocate for themselves in healthcare.

3. We want decision makers to meaningfully engage Black women in improving their experiences of maternal health services.

4. We want decision makers to examine the role the NHS plays in perpetuating the issues faced by Black women e.g. quality of treatment, institutional racism and ethnic coding.
