Women are being eliminated from data collection and reporting. From government website scrubs to the dismantling of maternal mortality review committees, our voices and experiences are being systematically erased. These actions suppress critical health information, opening the door for more extreme policies and making it harder to demonstrate the harms and hold policymakers accountable.
National Latine Heritage Month is a time to honor the rich history and contributions of Latine people. For me, it represents not only a celebration of our shared heritage, but also a time of reflection and a reminder of our ongoing fight for justice. Undocumented Latine women are our present and future, and their reproductive health must be a priority—this month and every day.
