In the face of this health scandal, an Afro-Caribbean LGBT+ association, Diivines.LGBTQIA+, helped win a unanimous vote from the Paris City Council on June 8 to provide free screening for chlordecone in Parisian health centers, with particular focus on the West Indian community, which is most affected. That’s why my father asked me if I’d been tested the last time I was in Guadeloupe, but since I live in France all year round, I told him it was out of the question to pay 130 euros for a test in Paris, and that we had to fight for free screening for all West Indians living in [Paris] who may have been exposed to chlordecone at different stages of their lives in the West Indies.
