LEGISLATION & PUBLIC POLICY
The Blush Project has worked since 2015 to advocate for public policies that reduce bias and discrimination against Black Women and to influence legislators to pass laws that create safer medical care and workplaces for Black Women.
Why is the Blush Project necessary? There is a Maternal Health Crisis and women are suffering as a result
The maternal mortality rate increased by 26.6 % between 2000 and 2014
60% of maternal mortalities could be prevented and 50% of the maternal injuries could be reduced or eliminated with better care
There are 42.8 deaths every 100,000 live births for Black Women
