Union Voices for Health Choices:  Strategic Solutions for Women’s Health

Regional Women’s Committees are on the ground creating a network that advocates for our members and supports gender equality in our communities.

This retreat is an opportunity for active RWC members to focus together on a strategy to address the reality of gaps in women’s healthcare and reproductive rights in the Prairies.  By working together, we will build a strategy for all Prairies RWC’s to address those gaps in our communities and to push back against reducing the already limited access in urban and rural areas.

Please review the call out for additional important details!
