SUMMARY:Seeking Women's Health Justice: Activating Our Resources in Challenging Times
DESCRIPTION:The series\, Seeking Women’s Health Justice\, examines women’s health from the perspective of justice – with the awareness that peace is a fundamental component of health. \n“Accelerated Action” is the theme of International Women’s Day 2025 – gender equity\, reproductive rights and the reduction of violence against women and girls are highlighted. \nIn the spirit of supporting these aims\, Massachusetts Peace Action features the webinar\, Seeking Women’s Health Justice: Activating our Resources in Challenging Times. \n \nPanelists will discuss a broad perspective of ways to address the anti-woman\, anti-minority\, anti-immigrant\, and anti-LGBTQ policy regulations. \nThis will include a national appraisal of efforts to combat restrictive laws and executive orders; analyses and viewpoints to counter economic challenges; and the public health response to inhumane dictates. \nCongresswoman Ayanna Pressley (MA-07) is an activist\, a legislator\, a survivor\, and the first woman of color to be elected to Congress from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Throughout her career as a public servant\, Congresswoman Pressley has been a champion for justice and healing: reproductive justice\, justice for immigrants\, consumer justice\, justice for seniors\, justice for workers\, justice for survivors of sexual violence\, justice for the formerly and currently incarcerated individuals\, and healing for those who have experienced trauma. \nSteffie Woolhandler\, M.D.\, MPH is currently a Distinguished Professor at Hunter College\, after serving as a Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School.  In addition to her duties at Hunter she continues to collaborate with research colleagues at Harvard\, where she is a Lecturer in Medicine.  She is a leading advocate for health care justice and national health insurance for the United States. \nChris Chanyasulkit\, PhD\, MPH is a public health practitioner\, advocate\, keynote speaker\, and master connector who speaks both nationally and internationally about public health; literacy; civic engagement; and racial\, gender\, and health equity.
