Atlanta – The United States federal and many state and local governments are not doing enough to end cervical cancer deaths, the Southern Rural Black Women’s Initiative for Economic and Social Justice (SRBWI) and Human Rights Watch said in a report today issued during cervical cancer awareness month and focused on the state of Georgia. In 2021, an estimated 4,290 women in the United States died from cervical cancer, including disproportionately high numbers of Black women. Human Rights Watch first reported on the issue three years ago, with a focus on Alabama.

This groundbreaking report, “We Need Access,” is based on interviews by SRBWI, Human Rights Watch, and nine community-based researchers with Black women living in three rural counties (Baker, Coffee, and Wilcox) in Georgia. The research has found that Georgia state and US federal policies neglect the reproductive healthcare needs of Black women and contribute to an environment in which they are dying of cervical cancer, a highly preventable disease, at disproportionate rates.

Noam Chomsky isn’t just a lifelong reader of In These Times — he was also one
of our very first donors. In fact, he made his first donation to In These Times in
1975, a year before the inaugural issue was published.
For Noam Chomsky and our other founding sponsors—including Julian
Bond, Barbara Ehrenreich, Daniel Ellsberg, Michael Harrington, David DuBois,
Naomi Weisstein and many others—the mission of In These Times was critical.
They saw the need for an independent publication to inform and critically analyze
the emerging new movements on the American left. They also understood the
ways in which corporate media too often ignores or misrepresents progressive
causes—leaving too many important voices unheard.
