March 1: Mark the  beginning of International Women's History Month with PWHR

The legal status of abortion and the accessibility, availability, accessibility, and quality of abortion care has been a central issue for movements, and related research, seeking to fulfill the rights of women, trans and non-binary people to health and healthcare. At this moment in history, depending on where you live, you might be experiencing greater legal access to abortion care, or significant retrenchment. Digital platforms are increasingly relevant for access to health information and care, in national and global contexts.  
On March 1, join the Partnership for Women’s Health Research Canada (PWHR) for a panel discussion about “Digital innovations in abortion care—national and global perspectives”. Learn from national and global success stories about how Canadian women’s health researchers have developed and implemented evidence-informed digital health platforms for abortion care. These digital innovations expand vital access to health information, support decision-making, and enable health promotion and self-care, including for under-served communities and in challenging contexts.
