SUMMARY:Towards an Intersectional Climate Response: Tackling Environmental Racism
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is a social issue\, a health issue\, and one that is deeply intertwined with global patterns of inequity. In communities across the globe\, Black\, Indigenous and people of colour (BIPOC) disproportionately bear the brunt of climate change’s impacts\, in particular through the systems\, policies and practices upheld by environmental racism. For example\, the serious and negative implications of air and water pollution\, soil contamination\, and exposure to hazardous chemicals have proven to unequally affect the health and wellbeing of BIPOC communities.  \nJoin us for a 90 minute solutions-oriented panel where participants will unpack the inherent inequalities and patterns of injustice that almost always fall along the lines of race\, class\, ability and gender and propose a way forward for a more just\, intersectional and inclusive global climate response.  \nREGISTER HERE \nJoin the broadcast: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87306204544 \nPanelists include: \nManvi Bhalla\, Intersectional community organizer\, co-founder of Shake Up The Establishment \nDr. Ingrid Waldron\, Professor and HOPE Chair in Peace and Health in the Global Peace and Social Justice Program in the Department of History\, Faculty of Humanities at McMaster University \nShirley Williams\, Professor Emeritus\, Elder\, Activist\, Nishnaabemowin Language \nDr. Marie-Jo Ouimet\, médecin conseil à l’Institut national de santé publique du Québec (INSPQ) \nWith opening and land acknowledgement from Michele Penney and panel moderation by Future Ancestors Services.

SUMMARY:Incubator on Menstrual Equity
DESCRIPTION:Menstrual inequity affects people all over the world\, including people in Canada. There is a critical need to address this issue because menstrual equity is an integral element to achieve gender equality for all. Period poverty\, taboos and stigma and lack of adequate sanitation infrastructure are just a few examples of how menstrual inequity undermines the health\, rights and wellbeing of individuals across Canada. \nIn the lead-up to Menstrual Hygiene Day\, join the Equal Futures Network on May 14\, in our inaugural Incubator session where we unpack these inequities with organizations from across Canada to brainstorm ideas\, share challenges and forge a way to move forward.  In partnership\, we can eliminate industry silos and regional disconnect to create a collaborative and unified collective working to advance equality in menstrual health and hygiene management across Canada.
