"How women and health NGOs use communications strategically to advocate for gender equality and reproductive health" - 4/19/2023 @ 10am

Please join us for “How women and health NGOs use communications strategically to advocate for gender equality and reproductive health” to mark the launch of Dr. Carolina Matos’ book Gender, communications and reproductive health in international development, which presents the research findings of a funded Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) project. 
Panelists include: Dr. Karin Wilkins, Dean of the School of Communication, Professors Suzanne Clibsy (University of Coventry, UK) and Rosalind Gill (City, University of London) and the CEO of NGO Reprolatina, Margarita Díaz. A hybrid event, it will be attended by NGO practitioners and academics and students from across the world. 

Panel Description
To this day, women globally are subjected to forms of control over their bodies, and their ability to exercise their reproductive rights in particular is still constrained. Amid a rise of challenges to the advancement of women’s rights, including the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade in the United States, sexual and reproductive health rights are at the forefront of conversations about the advancement of gender equality. This panel with various scholars has been set up as part of a discussion to launch Matos’s forthcoming book, Gender, communications and reproductive health in international development by the Canadian university publisher McGill Queen University Press, which will be published in June 2023. Matos will provide a condensed examination of the research findings and core theoretical frameworks of the work, arguing over the need to deconstruct discourses around SRHR under challenging times and concluding that NGOs need better communication strategies and practices in their advocacy communication efforts.
