You deserve healthcare that acknowledges its own history You deserve healthcare that acknowledges its own history

4 Demands

Concepts of health and well-being in the German healthcare system do not take into account the history and continuity of colonisation, racism, classism, ableism, and discrimination of LGBTQIA+ people. By establishing concepts and norms of so-called healthy bodies and minds, they leave damaging traces on families, identities and bodies. The effect that unresolved histories of violence and perpetuating discrimination have on physical and emotional health is not sufficiently researched and acknowledged.

We demand:

  • We demand funding for independently and collectively organised places, approaches and practices for healing, that take intergenerational trauma into account
  • We demand institutes for research and study that apply approaches to health which encompass intergenerational processing and wider perspectives on health-related justice
  • We demand improving trauma-informed medical approaches
  • We demand making such services available to all, particularly marginalised and vulnerable groups

These demands were developed collectively and are based on the interviews with the following initiatives:
