to create a technical committee of health of the black population, so that there is efficiency in actions for this purpose.The creation within the Departments of Health to coordinate a team of equity, where the policy is located. Some booklets have been published by the Ministerio da Saude (MS or Ministry of Health) along with the Secretaria Especial de Politicas de Promocao da Igualdade Racial (SEPPIR or Special Secretariat of Policies for the Promotion of Racial Equality). But many women continue dying for lack of care, training and information, explains Halda Regina.About creating of exclusive policies in Teresina, Councilwoman Rosario Bezerra, who has a great representation in this discussion within the capital, explains that there is still nothing specific, but that discussions have started.Were conducting seminars with entities linking the health of black women to the development of specific projects, because there are racial specificities and diseases that take greater effect on black women. This woman is served in health facilities with another look.She is not considered as she should and does not receive the attention she deserves. The diagnosis is not always thorough and queries are made more quickly than the others, without the same concern, she emphasizes.Afroresiliencias and psychological healthAfroresiliencia, a neologism created by the teacher and psychologist Lucienia Martins in the development of her doctoral thesis Afrorresilientes: a resiliencia de mulheres afrodescendentes de sucesso educacional (Afro-resilience: the resilience of African descendant women of educational success), having as the principal problem the black womans ability to cope with the challenges posed by prejudice.To study resiliency in women of African descent is an attempt to systematically meet the psychological factors that promote the overcoming situations of adversity. According to figures from the IBGE (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatistica or Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics), these obstacles are not few.Afroresiliencia explores a relevant topic and recent area of Psicologia Positiva (Positive Psychology), focused on the perspective of women of African descent in Teresina. Although not known to many, resilience is experienced in one form or another, by each of us, explains the researcher Lucienia Martins.The psychological factor is another important point of discussion about womens health in the black population. Besides socioeconomic conditions, greater propensity to disorders of a genetic order, imposed violence gradually affects mental health. The psychologist and researcher Lucienia highlighted this aspect more in her study.In regard to emotional health, they are ones that suffer most from domestic violence, engage in risky situations because of the secularly institutionalized lack of opportunity.Even with advances for the next generation after years of a flagitious slavery, there are still many consequences that need to be repaired. The study of resilience is an excellent psychological defense against aggression imposed by a contemporary racist society, without mixing it up with insensitivity or conformism, or even with resignation.This implies that resilience in the lives of these women should be perceived as a process for growth, positivity, or better yet, of strengthening for stressful situations that will happen, she affirms.Source: Meio NorteNotes1.
