A report by Michael Marmot and colleagues at the UCL Institute of Health Equity in London highlights structural racism and health inequalities in the city. The report emphasizes the need for strategies based on equity and grassroots experience, pointing out widespread racial disparities in health, social determinants, and healthcare experiences. In a diverse city with a positive attitude towards migration, the report calls for high-level recommendations based on principles of proportionate universalism to achieve equity. It showcases the work of grassroots organizations addressing racism’s impact and underscores the need to address intersecting forms of discrimination. The report takes a life course approach and highlights the importance of community action despite limited funding and support.
