Did you know murder is the leading cause of Black maternal deaths?
Yahoo! Life
Kelly Davis, MPA and Kiara Cruz, MPH write, "For many Black women, a life transition that should be marked with joy and support is too often faced with disappointment, despair and even death. As Reproductive Justice advocates dedicated to ending the Black maternal health crisis, every Domestic Violence Awareness Month brings a cruel reminder of what Black mothers and birthing people experience during the vulnerable pregnancy and postpartum periods. In New York City, where we reside, just last month 31 year-old Shanice Young was fatally wounded by a former intimate partner in front of her home, shortly after her baby shower. She was nine months pregnant. We mourn her life and the lives of all parents and children prematurely stolen at the height of their promise."

California is the 1st state to ban 'stealthing,' nonconsensual condom removal
NPR
California just became the first state in the U.S. to outlaw "stealthing," a slang term for the nonconsensual removal of a condom during sex.
The law, signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, makes it a civil offense under state law for someone to remove a condom without their partner's consent.
"For a majority of the people, it's like, 'Yeah, it makes sense that this is immoral and it should be illegal,' " state Assembly member Cristina Garcia, who sponsored the legislation, told NPR.
"A lot of people told me, 'I can't believe it's not already illegal,' " she added.
The California State Legislature had approved the measure without opposition.

Newsbreak
Jennifer Miller, director of the Kansas State University bachelor's degree in public health program, and Susan Rensing, teaching associate professor in gender, women and sexuality studies, were recently published in the Journal of Women's Health. Their research, "Integrating National Violent Death Reporting System Data into Maternal Mortality Review Committees," examined the NVDRS-RAD data from 2014 to 2017 and argues that the data for pregnancy-associated maternal deaths should be integrated into the work of Maternal Mortality Review Committees.

What happens to sexual assault reports at Canadian universities? No one really knows
Maclean's
“He told me to be quiet.” “He got into my residence building.” “When I disclosed the assault (to faculty) their advice was that I should have avoided drinking.”
These accounts are just a few of the more than 60 submissions posted on the @ConsentAtQueens Instagram page. Started by former Queen’s University students Megan Sieroka and Maeve Avis Kozar (they graduated in the spring), the accounts highlight personal, anonymous tales of assault, harassment, stalking and other incidents of sexual violence at Queen’s. Sieroka says the pair started the page because they weren’t seeing action from the administration “to make Queen’s a safer and better environment for students.”

United States-Mexico Bicentennial Framework for Security, Public Health, and Safe Communities
U.S. Embassy & Consulates in Mexico
As two nations with an enduring partnership based on sovereignty, mutual respect, and the extraordinary bond of family and friendship, the United States and Mexico need and want to face security challenges together. Both countries have suffered the effects on our communities of substance addiction, gun violence, illicit drug, arms, and human trafficking, human smuggling, and organized crime. To confront the complex threats of the 21st century, we need to work in a coordinated manner, with a regional vision, and a modern approach of public health and development as part of a holistic cooperation strategy between our countries. With full respect for our sovereignties, we each recognize our shared responsibility and pledge to move forward as partners to find solutions that are backed by justice, effective cooperation on law enforcement, and a data-driven approach to develop effective strategies against organized crime.
