“…The articles on age in this review mostly discuss ageism together with heteronormativity and address health care needs of older LGBTQIA people [ 86 , 111 ]. The qualitative study by Cuesta and Rämgård [ 28 ] focuses on the intersection of gender and race in the context of power relations in elderly care homes.…”

“…De Proost [ 32 ] adds to such feminist perspectives with her critique of principlism as focusing on individuals instead of power relations and social justice, arguing that an intersectional approach could inform theorizing. Further criticism comes from Black Bioethics, which could “help reshape how bioethicists apply basic principles like justice” to consider Black peoples lived realities in a complex, intersectional way [ 86 ].…”

Background Intersectionality is a concept that originated in Black feminist movements in the US-American context of the 1970s and 1980s, particularly in the work of feminist scholar and lawyer Kimberlé W. Crenshaw. Intersectional approaches aim to highlight the interconnectedness of gender and sexuality with other social categories, such as race, class, age, and ability to look at how individuals are discriminated against and privileged in institutions and societal power structures. Intersectionality is a “traveling concept”, which also made its way into bioethical research. Methods We conducted a systematic review to answer the question of where and how the concept of intersectionality is applied in bioethical research. The PubMed and Web of Science databases were systematically searched and 192 articles addressing bioethical topics and intersectionality were finally included. Results The qualitative analysis resulted in a category system with five main categories: (1) application purpose and function, (2) social dimensions, (3) levels, (4) health-care disciplines and academic fields, and (5) challenges, limitations, and critique. The variety of academic fields and health-care disciplines working with the concept ranges from psychology, through gynaecology to palliative care and deaf studies. Important functions that the concept of intersectionality fulfils in bioethical research are making inequities visible, creating better health data collections and embracing self-reflection. Intersectionality is also a critical praxis and fits neatly into the overarching goal of bioethics to work toward social justice in health care. Intersectionality aims at making research results relevant for respective communities and patients, and informs the development of policies. Conclusions This systematic review is, to the best of our knowledge, the first one to provide a full overview of the reference to intersectionality in bioethical scholarship. It creates a basis for future research that applies intersectionality as a theoretical and methodical tool for analysing bioethical questions.

“…This calls for a reflection on our limitations as actors deeply engaged in global health research and seeking equitable collaborations. Recent examples, such as the actions leading to the formation of "Black Lives Matter" (Ray et al, 2023) and the unequal distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, demonstrate a lack of human dignity. Some global health researchers from the Global North proposed conducting vaccine trials with negative connotations in Africa and other LMICs, implying that their lives may not matter (Tagoe et al, 2021;Ali et al, 2022).…”

This paper explores the importance of equitable global health research collaborations that prioritize human dignity. It addresses the need for Global North partners to increase their efforts in raising awareness among all actors in global health. The aim is to bridge the gap in research collaborations and promote equitable practices that uphold the principles of human dignity and equity. A comprehensive review of existing literature and case studies was conducted to examine current practices and challenges in global health research collaborations. The review focused on the role of Global North partners in promoting equitable collaborations, capacity building efforts, and the impact of colonial legacies on research dynamics. The findings highlight the need for deliberate actions by Global North partners to raise awareness and promote equitable research collaborations. Initiatives such as Principal Investigator positions to partners from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) during grant applications have been observed. Assigning first/last authorship positions to LMIC members is gaining momentum. However, further efforts are necessary to enhance the inclusivity of global health research collaborations. We emphasize the need for standardized definitions of global health that encompass human dignity and equity. Urgent action is required to ensure that all actors in global health research collaborations embrace human dignity. By deploying new techniques and tools where they are most needed, we can effectively promote equitable research collaborations that contribute to improving the health of individuals worldwide.
