At Canadian Women of Colour Leadership Network (CWCLN), we are deeply committed to advancing Black Maternal Health and Reproductive Justice across Canada. We know that Black women and femmes experience some of the most severe health disparities across the reproductive health continuum, disparities that are rooted in systemic racism and long-standing neglect of Black communities in health policy and care.

We believe that reproductive justice is not just about choice, it’s about access, dignity, and equity at every stage of life. From menstruation and fertility to childbirth, postpartum care, and menopause, CWCLN is building a movement that centers Black women’s needs and leadership.

You can help us shape future programming by filling out our short survey:

We collect community insights—not clinical data—through listening sessions, short surveys, and conversations. Insights guide programs and advocacy; no personal health information is published. Responses are stored securely and used only to improve community-led initiatives.

CWCLN’s work is community-led and lived-experience centered. We convene safe spaces, amplify community voice, and build capacity through peer support, culturally grounded education, and leadership development.

We collaborate with researchers, clinicians, and community partners in a complementary way—bringing evidence-informed insights into community practice without replicating institutional or academic research.

Grounded in peer support, leadership development, and culturally safe education, our pillars translate community insights into practical action.
