Driving change, advocating for systemic reforms and culturally relevant healthcare for South Asian, Black-African-Caribbean, LatinX Hispanic, MENA, and East Asian communities, the Racialized Health Working Group worked together to promote equitable health outcomes. Racialized communities face common barriers in healthcare, from language barriers to financial challenges and deep-seated mistrust in healthcare institutions. This is why our collective decided to come together – by examining specific healthcare disparities and barriers, we could advocate for specific and universal solutions, including policy change.
致力于推动变革以及倡导系统性改革，并为南亚裔、非裔-加勒比裔、拉丁裔-西班牙裔、中东北非裔（MENA）以及东亚社群提供符合文化背景的医疗服务。有色族裔健康研究小组携手合作，致力于促进人人公平的医疗服务。从语言障碍到经济困难，以及对医疗机构根深蒂固的不信任，有色族裔群体在医疗保健方面面临着共同的障碍。正因如此，我们决定携手合作——通过研究具体的医疗保健差异和障碍，我们将倡导具体且普遍的解决方案，包括政策变革。
Starting in September 2024, CCNCTO conducted surveys and focus groups engaging East Asian community members across Ontario. Delving into healthcare disparities within the East Asian community, our findings highlighted critical issues such as widespread discrimination based on race and immigration status, insufficient community physical/mental health knowledge, and a lack of community engagement within healthcare.
自2024年9月起，平权会面向安大略省各地的东亚裔社群成员发放了问卷调查并进行了焦点小组访谈。 通过深入研究东亚社群内部的医疗保健差异，我们的研究结果突显了一些关键的问题，例如基于种族和移民身份的普遍歧视、社群身心健康知识不足以及在医疗保健方面缺乏社群的参与。
A key finding across all groups was that community-based interventions are key to reducing healthcare barriers in racialized communities. Community leaders, grassroots organizations, faith-based groups, and local advocacy groups must drive these solutions.
通过基于所有社群团体的调查，我们得出了一个关键结论：以社群为基础的干预措施有助于减少有色族裔社群的医疗保健障碍。社群领袖、基层组织、宗教团体和在地倡导团体必须推动这些解决方案。
