Community Event

The rights of girls and women to bodily autonomy and full sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) are in the spotlight like never before. From the #MeToo movement, to the referendum on abortion in Ireland, to new political attention in Canada– girls and women around the world are demanding and making change.

Join us for a dynamic evening to discuss and learn about the importance of putting sexual and reproductive health and rights at the centre of the gender equality agenda—to advance the health, rights, and well-being of women and girls in Canada and around the world.

The event will include two lively panels, featuring SRHR experts from Canada and abroad as well as Canadian political representatives.

Panelists:
Gabrielle Bouchard, President, Quebec Women's Federation;
Aminata Bintu Wurie, Executive Coordinator, Youth Coalition for Sexual and Reproductive Rights;
