Imagine a World Where Women & Girls of Color

  • Receive access to good health care, food, housing, transportation, good education, employment, living wages, and other societal resources, 
  • Are able to live free of chronic stress and its related health conditions, 
  • Do not suffer disproportionately higher death rates, premature death and avoidable hospitalizations, 
  • Do not experience disparities in maternal and infant mortality that are 2-3x higher than their white counterparts.
