Description
One focal point of Resilient Sisterhood Project’s mission is to bring to light the historical and present day effects of environmental racism in our communities. Environmental racism often comes in the form of disproportionate exposure to toxic chemicals, including but not limited to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), proximity to industrial waste sites, and polluted water and air. Another form of environmental racism can be a lack of access to green and recreational outdoor spaces. These forms of structural discrimination can negatively impact reproductive and overall health outcomes.
