Black Woman's Right to Health in Brazil

Carried out in association with Geledés - Instituto da Mulher Negra and financed by the European Union, this project aims at the capacity-building of women in districts of eastern São Paulo in the defense of their right to health, with the objective of strengthening the combat against racial discrimination in health services in Brazil.

After the capacity-building, the group will be able to closely follow public health services, including what they proclaim about specific needs of these women. The project's activities, which began in April of 2007 with the production of materials for capacity-building workshops, are expected to span three years.

As it is a pilot program, it will result in the systematization of its methodology, creating a model for oversight of health services that can be replicated in other cities and regions of the country.
