For Black women, reproductive health advocacy ensures complete physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease, in all matters relating to the reproductive system. BWHI advocates to eliminate all barriers to self-agency. Our work protects the right to self-govern one's body, sexuality, gender, sexual pleasure, and reproduction preferences.
Nearly one in five women (17%) of reproductive age report they have changed their contraceptive practices as a result of Roe being overturned.
More than 99% of women of reproductive age who have ever had sex have used some form of birth control.
The majority of women use contraception to prevent pregnancy (85%), but one in seven (14%) use it solely for a reason outside of preventing pregnancy.
Pregnancy prevention is very important to nearly three in four women (74%) ages 18 to 25.
