It’s extraordinary that it’s easier to get the victims of structural racism to shout louder than address the cause of their unequal treatment. When it comes to health inequalities, racism can be the difference between life and death.
Black women are three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes as White women. Doulas, midwives, nurses and obstetricians are explicitly preparing Black women to speak up loudly for themselves in the delivery room.

From a health context we know that living in persistent poverty has a cumulative impact on and contributes to unfair and avoidable differences in health.
