This anti-racism and cultural competency workshop is presented by Women's Health in Women's Hands Community Health Centre (WHIWH CHC)

Structural racism in healthcare continues to harm racialized women —especially African, Caribbean, and Black women.

From pain being dismissed to life-saving care being delayed, these experiences are not rare or isolated. They reflect a broader pattern of systemic racism and gaps in clinical training that disproportionately affect people with darker skin tones.

Through the We Matter Project and the Thrive Together Project, WHIWH CHC is working to raise awareness and support community-led solutions that promote equity, accountability, and improved care.

Join WHIWH for an interactive workshop designed specifically for health and service providers. This session focuses on practical tools, real-life case studies, and meaningful reflection to support culturally safe and anti-oppressive practice.
