Today, on World Health Day, we're reminded of the intricate connections between health, human trafficking, environmental degradation, and social impact. Human trafficking thrives in environments where vulnerabilities are exploited, often exacerbated by environmental destruction and social inequities. As communities face environmental crises, displacement, and economic hardships, individuals become more susceptible to exploitation and trafficking. 🩺 Access to healthcare is a fundamental human right and a powerful tool in combating trafficking. Survivors often endure physical and psychological trauma, yet access to medical care is limited. By providing comprehensive healthcare, we not only heal wounds but also empower survivors to reclaim their lives and break free from exploitation. 🙌 At Not For Sale, we recognize the urgent need to address these interconnected issues. Through our initiatives, we aim to tackle the root causes of trafficking, promote environmental sustainability, and uplift communities through social impact initiatives. 🌱 🌎️ Today, we invite you to join us in this critical mission. Together, let's raise awareness, support survivors, and advocate for a world where health, human rights, and environmental justice intersect harmoniously. 🧡 Your action today can create a ripple effect of change for generations to come.

CLIMATE CHANGE AND HEALTH HEALTH WORKERS ON CLIMATE, COMMUNITY, AND THE URGENT NEED FOR ACTION While global agreements and actions are essential, there is a need to act now to support communities already feeling the effects of climate change. Health workers are uniquely positioned to witness and respond to the health impacts of climate change, given their trusted position within communities and commitment to protect health. We hope that the chorus of voices will grow to strengthen the case for why and how investment in human resources for health is likely to be a "best buy" for community-focused efforts to build the climate resilience of public health systems.

While this article focuses on past policies that shaped racial and ethnic health disparities — we also know in the environmental health sciences field that we have disproportionate pollution burdens in communities of color. #cumulativeimpacts #redlining #environmentaljustice #cumulativeexposures https://lnkd.in/dij5JhtA
