 The Impact of Gynecological Experimentation on Black Maternal Health Outcomes

Brief Summary: Gynecological medical advancement is deeply rooted in the enslavement of Black women. As such, science has benefited from the physical, emotional, and psychological abuses committed against Black women’s bodies. Black women should be honored for their resistance, resilience, and bravery; instead, they carry the weight of generations of inequitable and racist medical practices. This presentation discusses the origins of gynecological medical experimentation and its impact on Black maternal health outcomes today.
