ABOUT THIS EVENT: The Centre for Gender & Sexual Health Equity hosts a Spotlight Series on key topics critical to intersectional approaches to the advancement of gender equity and sexual health for all. Free and open to all members of the community, these educational webinars aim to bridge and create dialogue across policy, practice and research spheres.
FINALLY: Currently, our event is only available in English, which we recognize is a colonial language. We acknowledge that language should not be a barrier to participation and we hope to host our Spotlight Series in various languages in the future, based on participants’ needs and as resources allow.
