Session Two: Sexual and Reproductive Rights
USA policies on contraception and abortion threaten women’s choices, health and safety not only in the USA but internationally. Federal funds cannot be used for abortion. The sudden dismantling of USAID – and therefore the progammes it has supported – risk a rise in HIV and unwanted pregnancies. It will also likely leave women little option but to resort to unsafe abortions and unsafe deliveries. Women will suffer avoidable risks, dangers and deaths in various parts of the world.
Join us on On Friday 4th April at 15.00pm, to hear from three amazing women on the frontlines of organising for and delivering women’s reproductive rights:
