My project explores the reproductive health manifestations of intersectionality among Afro-Brazilian women of childbearing age in Bahia, Brazil. Intersectionality, for the purposes of this analysis, includes race, class, gender, and history (RCGH) as mutually constitutive social identities. Preliminary findings indicate that the fundamental determinants of race, class, and gender influence access to the key resource of reproductive health services. This project draws from a qualitative study on the public health implications of intersectional oppression for African-descendant women in both Brazil and the United States. Jointly conducted by Professors Vijaya Hogan, Kia Caldwell, and Edna de Araújo, this qualitative study represents a partnership between the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) and the State University of Feira de Santana (UEFS). I thank these scholars and their respective institutions for allowing me to access their research.
