A Joint Statement from PCW, Women in Medicine and Science, and the Umbrella Group

We will use our collective power to advance equity, inclusion, and justice for Black lives. Our systems are not “broken,” they were designed this way. We pledge to do our part to redesign policies, structures, and environments to support a fair and just world. We affirm that gender equity in programming, resources, and advocacy is a commitment to human rights. A commitment to human rights must also include the abolition of systemic racial violence and disparate impact that threatens the lives and health of our colleagues, patients, families, community, and ourselves. Our efforts toward identifying and removing the barriers to success for women will be framed in the context of combating implicit and explicit bias and racism. All lives cannot matter until Black lives matter equally.
