Stillbirth connects to Chicago and the larger U.S due to women only being able to conceive a child . Women are living all over the planet and chances are any female can have a stillbirth . Since there isn't much research and studies on stillbirth yet the rate in the united states is high . 2.6 Million babies nationwide die and the cause is still unknown. Chicago’s female population is 51.48 % .36% which are African American . Stillbirth is likely to happen to Colored women .2.6% of couples are together but aren't married in the city and according to recent research on stillbirth women who aren't married are also likely to have a stillbirth.Although this issue seems unsolvable i believe spreading awareness will not only show respect to those mothers with untold stories of their stillbirths but help raise money to help the women of our communities with things such as better health assistance , infant loss programs .Students can partner with local organizations to address the problem and show the women of our world they deserve more than an unexplainable loss.
