Накратко на български
Здравните проблеми при бременните чернокожи жени в Европа и САЩ се анализират чрез сравнение на техния опит и достъп до грижи. Това помага да се разбере как расовите различия влияят върху майчиното здраве в региони с малко данни по темата.

Racialization in Reproduction: maternal health crisis among black women in Europe and the US.
Since the 2000s, a number of parallel trends testify adverse maternal health outcomes among Black migrant and Afro-descendant women in Europe and the US. RiR was the first ethnographic project that explored the link between maternal health issues and racial disparities in and outside Europe. The project consisted of two key activities: i) theoretical training in the US where the researcher explored Black Studies/ Race and Ethnic Studies that are still missing in Europe; and ii) research work carried out in the US to reflect in a comparative way on black maternal health issues across Europe. Moving from the current international debate on reproductive justice, RiR also investigated Black women’s mobilizations for suitable birthing options contrasting adverse maternal health outcomes in and outside Europe. Thought the implementation of this set of activities RiR introduced new theories and new methods to advance the knowledge on Black maternal health in Europe where there is little data collected by race and ethnicity, and maternal health matters among ethnic minorities are poorly understood as a public health problem.

Цел на проекта
tThe Racialization in Reproduction project (RiR) aims to analyse maternal health among black women in Europe and the US. Since the 2000s, a number of parallel trends testify that the maternal health outcomes of non-white populations (i.e. Black, Hispanic, Caribbean, Asian, Middle East and Pacific Islander women) are worse than those of white women in Europe and the US. Among non-white populations, black women present the worst maternal health outcomes in both contexts. This has led some scholars to speak about a black maternal health crisis, drawing on facts such as black women undergoing a greater number of medical interventions and being more exposed to risks related to maternal health. However, black maternal health matters are poorly understood as a public health problem in Europe where there is little data collected by race and ethnicity. RiR will introduce new theories and new methods to advance the knowledge of black maternal health in Europe. The project will consist of two key activities: theoretical training in the US where I will explore Black Studies literature that is missing in Europe; and research work to be carried out in the US to reflect in a comparative way on black maternal health in Europe. The overarching aim is to explore the continuities and specificities of the black maternal health crisis in Europe (where I have worked and collected data on this topic for the last ten years) and in the US (where I will carry out new fieldwork). In addition to dissemination in the academe, RiR aims to spread its results to a broad public: medical professionals, reproductive rights associations and NGOs, public health and gender policy-makers. Through these activities, RiR will make a concrete contribution to public health policies aimed at struggling inequalities related to the right to health in Europe.
