The pandemic reveals; the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has brought the historically rooted inequities of our society to the forefront. We argue that an intersectional analysis is needed to further help peel back the veil that the pandemic has begun to reveal. We identify structural gendered racism—the totality of interconnectedness between structural racism and structural sexism in shaping race and gender inequities—as a root cause of health problems among Black women and other women of color, which has been amplified during the pandemic. We show that women of color occupy disadvantaged positions within households, occupations, and health care institutions, and therefore face heightened risk for COVID-19 and lowered resources for mitigating the impact of the deadly virus. Intersectional analyses and solutions must be centered to also reveal, we hope, a new way forward.

大流行时代揭示了结构性种族主义:了解COVID-19中种族和性别健康不平等的交叉方法

大流行显示;新型冠状病毒(COVID-19)大流行将我们社会历史悠久的不平等现象推到了最前沿。我们认为,需要交叉分析来进一步帮助揭开流行病已经开始显现的面纱。我们将性别结构的种族主义(结构种族主义和结构性别主义在塑造种族和性别不平等方面的相互联系的总和)确定为黑人妇女和其他有色女性中健康问题的根源,这一点在大流行期间被放大。我们表明,有色女性在家庭,职业和医疗保健机构中处于劣势地位,因此面对COVID-19的风险更高,并且减少了减轻致命病毒影响的资源。
