" Sexual and reproductive health must be protected not only to ensure the well-being and livelihood of womxn, but to empower them in all spheres of their lives. With certain groups--womxn of color and womxn experiencing homelessness--facing even more severe disparities and health risks, a shift must occur to research, raise awareness about, and make changes to end these historical trends of suffering. I intend to be part of this shift in my community and beyond. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Understanding Stigma and Gaps in Knowledge Regarding Women Experiencing Houselessness
The aim of the project is to assess the stigma surrounding women experiencing houselessness, in addition to raising awareness about this specific sub-population of the unhoused community. By creating a quiz with 120+ responses, I was able to identify misconceptions held by students and the UC Berkeley community to better inform future interventions while also inspiring my peers to advocate for resources and policies to support women experiencing houselessness.
