Black Women & Sickle Cell
Sickle cell is a condition that specifically affects black communities around the world. The genetic disorder is most common seen in people of African or Caribbean descent, with one in 12 black people carrying the gene and 15,000 people in Britain living with the condition day to day.
Despite that, research is limited and many black people don't know enough about the condition – and not enough of us give blood!
