The groundbreaking “The Sexual Abuse to Maternal Mortality Pipeline”: a two - day institute presented by Black Women's Blueprint was created to bridge the reproductive justice and anti-violence movements through a rights-based framework for gender-violence and sexual assault prevention and response advocates, reproductive justice and reproductive health advocates, public health, medical and holistic care practitioners seeking to transform the dynamics that can eventually lead to maternal mortality. The convening will raise awareness about how rape culture shows up in our programs and institutions, hindering women’s access to trauma-informed services and reproductive health care. We will demonstrate the correlation to maternal mortality while providing a framework, model and tools developed by Black Women’s Blueprint for public health, medical professionals, reproductive justice and sexual assault prevention and response advocates to radically shift the current paradigms.
