The National Black Women's Health Project

The National Black Women's Health Project is an initiative focused on improving the health and well-being of Black women in the United States. Founded in the 1980s, it addresses health disparities and promotes awareness about issues specifically affecting this demographic, such as reproductive health, chronic diseases, and mental health. The project advocates for better healthcare access, education, and community support, and it empowers Black women to take charge of their health through workshops, resources, and advocacy for policy changes. By emphasizing cultural competence in healthcare, it seeks to ensure that the unique needs of Black women are met.
