Sisters of Color United for Education
SISTERS began in 1990 when two Xicana activists became frustrated with the lack of health education and prevention services for women in their community. They recognized the staggering economic, cultural, political and social barriers that increased people of colors’ health risks, such as poverty, lack of formal education, unequal family power dynamics, and community stigmas associated with illness. The founders began their work by providing educational materials out of their cars and hosting discussions in their homes. They focused on providing a safe and supportive environment in which to address sensitive health issues.
