Key Takeaways:
What is Reproductive Justice– Reproductive justice ensures that every woman has the right to make choices about her body, including access to healthcare and the freedom to have children or not. At its core, it’s about autonomy—allowing women to make these decisions without legal or political restrictions.
Menopause Care Disparities –Women often face challenges accessing proper care during menopause, with their symptoms sometimes being dismissed. It’s crucial that women receive the same quality of care in menopause as they do during their childbearing years, as menopause can impact their health in various ways.
The Impact of Systemic Racism on Health– Being African American is linked to higher health risks like high blood pressure, not because of race, but because of the ongoing effects of systemic racism. Constant stress raises cortisol levels, which changes DNA and makes African American women more prone to health problems.
The Importance of Being Heard –People want to be listened to and validated by their healthcare providers. Finding someone who understands your experience, or at least empathizes with it, can make a world of difference in your care.
Helpful Resource:
- Red Flags to Watch Out for When Advocating for Yourself– A major red flag is when a doctor dismisses your concerns or becomes defensive instead of offering help. If this happens, it’s time to find a new practitioner who listens and validates your experience. Your health matters, and you deserve a doctor who believes you.
