OUR STORY

We found that there are structural inequalities in health, education, crime, policing, and BAME experience post-migration living difficulties such as; racism, discrimination, hate crime, hostile immigration policies, cultural differences and language barriers, poor housing, lack of employment, poverty, etc. These factors may have directly or indirectly impacted the mental health and overall health well-being of BAME communities in one way or the other and are more likely to die from covid-19.
