Experiences and Needs of Young Black Canadian Mothers in Toronto
A Community-Based and Black-Centered Research
We are very excited to launch this report focused on the experiences of young Black mothers in navigating the challenges of motherhood while facing systemic racism. TAIBU CHC and Researchers from Brock University will be presenting research on the subject, drawing on themes including maternal experiences of racism and gendered oppression, compounding stressors affecting Black mothers, and the impact of racism on early childhood growth and development. This research project is the first of its kind in Canada to explore this topic in a significant way.
Our investigators present important findings from recent research, including the gendered racism and elevated levels of stress experienced by Black mothers. We provide policy and funding recommendations and hope to engage you in addressing systemic inequities and working towards creating a more just and equitable future for all.
