O protagonismo dos Movimentos Negros brasileiros na Política de Saúde: a história que não foi contada

Abstract

This study presents an intersectional research with a decolonial nature, of an essayistic style which the aim is reflecting epistemologically on the institutional approaches in the health sector that serve as the basis for the exclusion process of population segments. We identify the structuring of racism through the construction of racial and eugenic theories that reproduce stereotypes and prejudices, causing obstacles to the implementation of actions linked to the National Policy for Comprehensive Health of the Black Population (PNSIPN). Furthermore, the study seeks to emphasize the trajectory of struggle of the black women's movement, from the 1960s to the present day, for the implementation of this policy. Therefore, we inquire about the impasses in implementing actions to combat racial inequities in the health field.
