Media coverage from our work:

The Landscape Analysis work we are doing in 2023 has 5 main objectives:

  1. Define the birth justice movement and why and how it is both part of, yet distinct from the reproductive justice movement.

  2. Describe the networks and alliances within the birth justice movement. and map the services and strategies offered for people in the perinatal period, in order to create a picture of the existing change-infrastructure.

  3. Describe the funding needs of the birth justice movement and how funding for various services and strategies may impact it. 

  4. Caution against funding strategies that could be detrimental to the movement and its participants.

  5. Recommend a strategic approach for the larger maternal public health/early childhood health landscape to work with the birth justice movement and participate in improving outcomes.
