Health Equity Network Monthly Webinar: October – Structural Racism

This review by the UCL Institute of Health Equity (IHE), concludes that racism damages health and wellbeing and drives inequalities in London.

Racism in the capital is widespread and persistent causing damage to individuals, communities and society as a whole. Its impacts are experienced in different ways and to varying levels of intensity related to individual experiences, socioeconomic position and other dimensions of exclusion such as disability, age and gender. The intersections with other dimensions of exclusion can amplify the effects of racism.
