RESUME: Dentro de la diáspora africana, así como en las comunidades afrodescendientes y afrolatinas, quienes sufren racismo, xenofobia y todas las formas conexas de intolerancia ven afectadas su salud física, mental y emocional. Estas problemáticas se manifiestan en forma de estrés, ansiedad, trauma, enfermedades y barreras en el acceso a una atención adecuada.

En este contexto, los espacios de sanación y cuidado centrados en la comunidad negra han sido y siguen siendo fundamentales para la resiliencia y resistencia colectiva. Permiten validar experiencias compartidas y ofrecer herramientas para sanar y fortalecer la comunidad.

OBJETIVO DE LA SESIÓN: visibilizar problemáticas sistémicas, sensibilizar a la audiencia y fomentar la búsqueda colectiva de acciones políticas, comunitarias y legislativas para abordarlas.
