Anti-racism: Commitments, actions, and accountability don’t align with pronouncements

By Afifah Rahman-Shepherd et. al in BMJ Global Health

The authors place leading Public Health organizations under the scanner for their anti-racism commitments and accountability. They found that the majority of organizations (26/45) have not made any public statements in response to calls for antiracism actions, and that decision-making bodies are still lacking diversity and representation from the majority of the world’s population. Also, most commitments were not accompanied by accountability measures.
