Exploring sexual and reproductive Justice | In a time of Covid-19

--:--
A conversation early in the COVID 19 pandemic in South Africa listening to stakeholders talking about sexual and reproductive justice and what it means.

This includes perspectives of SRJC members including an abortion provider and health manager, sex worker, and queer health manager.

This podcast took place during lockdown and tracked the heightened vulnerabilities being experienced. A central message was the common experience that there are no single issues and that there is a web of compounded and intersecting challenges facing women in particular. Yet this is heightened by how one is positioned noting issues of gender, race and class but also the complexities of accessing marginalised health services such as contraceptions of ones choice, abortion and the particular needs of sex workers or queer persons.

SPEAKERS

> Kgaladi Mphahele of MSF South Africa
> Closing remarks of Sr Judiac Ranape from Western Cape Department of Health
> Marion Stevens from Sexual and Reproductive Justice Coalition
