Recent Tragedies in Columbus and Milwaukee Expose Harsh Reality for Black Women: The Loss of Lo-Letha Hall and Sade Robinson
Manage episode 413831733 series 3498524
Black women are six times more likely to be killed than white women, and it's not just a few isolated cases. A recent study blames "structural social inequities" for the staggering disparity, which has only increased by 73% in the past six years. This analysis of over 31,600 homicides across 30 states reveals that Black women are at a significantly higher risk of being killed in every state examined. The Midwest has the greatest disparity, with Black women being seven times more likely to be killed than white women in just one year. As we digest these statistics, we must ask ourselves: how many of these killers are white men? Two recent stories out of Columbus and Milwaukee showcase the heartbreaking reality faced by Black women - including the senseless death of 61-year-old Lo-Lita Hall and 19-year-old Saaday Robinson. We must demand justice and fight for change so that Black women no longer fear becoming another statistic.
