To solve the most critical health issues that Black women and girls face through innovative programs, transformative research, and life-saving policies.
We believe in and recognize the humanity of all women and girls across the spectrum of gender identity and sexual orientation. We believe that the audacity and love of womanhood and girlhood are expansive, encompassing, and whole, and they create space for all those who identify as women or girls. BWHI stands with our partners and our community in embracing the breadth of experiences and language in acknowledging womanhood, including those who are transgender, non-binary, gender fluid, and birthing people irrespective of their biological or assigned sex at birth.
At the heart of our advocacy is the recognition of commonality—be it cultural, social, or historical experiences—that binds women and girls together. We understand the importance of context and celebrate the diverse ways in which individuals interact with and express their identity as women.
Join us in fostering a community that uplifts and supports the diverse voices within the spectrum of women and girls!
