Miscarriages: the Result of Environmental Racism in South Phoenix
The women of South Phoenix face disproportionately high miscarriage rates, a direct consequence of Phoenix’s foundation of segregation and systemic environmental racism. Decades of redlining and discriminatory zoning have forced Black and Latinx communities into industrial-zoned areas, exposing them to air toxins, contaminated water, and extreme heat. These environmental hazards create severe maternal health risks, leading to pregnancy complications and loss. Miscarriages in South Phoenix are not isolated tragedies but clear indicators of a deeply flawed system prioritizing profit over human life. Recognizing these losses as a symptom of institutional failure is imperative. Addressing this crisis requires policy reform, environmental protections, and an acknowledgment that reproductive justice is inseparable from racial and environmental justice.
