I’m working with a community of advocates for maternal health to build a repository for maternal health information so that women can make informed decisions about their own reproductive health.

I'm working open because I believe that healthcare is a right to all.

Great idea, but I am wondering, isn't this too broad? I mean women from different regions of the world have different issues, how do you plan to deal with that?

Hi, thank you for reviewing the draft of my project! Just a note that this isn't complete yet (I was reviewing the details with my mentor) but the fully fleshed out project will be updated on here soon. I wanted to at least put something on here.

Supernice idea!
In the Open Canvas -> Contribution Channel I think it refers which channel your contributors will use to find you. What do you mean with Buy in at offline workshops?

Apart that, I was wondering how would control which information is accurate. I know many people think different ways of having maternal health. Some of those very controversial... Will you have material supervision by different people? Or refer to "bigger sources of truth?"

Sorry for the late reply and thank you for your suggestions! "Buy in" meaning to work with participants in order to align shared goals; collaborative development of the resources.

As a public health practitioner and researcher, I've used standard research and protocols for maternal health, as defined by various organizations (i.e. WHO, CDC, USAID). However, in working with communities, it's important to address maternal health issues in culturally-sensitive ways in order to make maternal health/reproductive health more accessible. That would also mean meeting people where they are in order to understand some potentially controversial ideas in order to promote safer and more effective health behaviors.
