Report: Nail salon technicians have higher rate of reproductive health issues

 

New York’s nail salon technicians, a group predominantly composed of Asian and Latin American immigrant women, are more likely to experience reproductive health issues compared to the general population, according to a new report from the New York Health Nails Salons Coalition. 

 

A bevy of nail salon workers, elected officials and reproductive health advocates will assemble outside City Hall Tuesday morning to underscore the report’s findings and urge the state to pass legislation aimed at creating standards for an industry long plagued with poor working conditions, wage theft and health risks. The Nail Salon Minimum Standards Council Act, which is sponsored by Sen.  Jessica Ramos and Assembly Member Harry Bronson, would create an industry council composed of workers, employers, and government representatives to recommend new labor standards for nail salons in New York.

TODAY'S BUZZ

 

This Mental Health Awareness Month, the Institute for Community Living, a nonprofit organization that provides New Yorkers with behavioral health challenges with comprehensive housing, health care, and recovery services to support them in living healthy and fulfilling lives, launched a new anti-stigma video, "Coffee On Us.” In a bustling NYC coffee shop, three New Yorkers bravely sat below signs declaring their personal challenges followed by an invitation to "Ask Me Anything." As curious New Yorkers engaged with the three ICL program participants, meaningful dialogues unfolded, delving into some of the greatest challenges New Yorkers face. “Coffee On Us” aims to raise awareness, foster dialogue, and dismantle the stigma surrounding mental health, substance use, and housing insecurity. Watch the full video here.
