Reproductive Rights and Health: Comparing the US and Nicaragua

Please join us for a 75-minute dialogue with our featured speakers.  Camille Landry will depict current conditions in the US, where reproductive rights and healthcare are facing serious challenges, especially after the recent overturn of Roe v. Wade.  Becca Renk will describe Nicaragua’s law, public opinion and religious influence in that country.  Then she will discuss improvements in women’s lives and gender equality in Nicaragua over the past 15 years. The audience will have ample time to ask questions and offer comments!

Becca Renk has been a community development worker for over 20 years in Ciudad Sandino, Nicaragua, and a delegation coordinator through Casa Ben Linder, a solidarity project of the Jubilee House Community.

Camille Landry is a National Co-Coordinator of Alliance for Global Justice. Based in Oklahoma City, OK, she is a co-founder and organizer of the Lucy Parsons Popular Human Rights School.

This event is part of a monthly webinar series on Nicaragua.  Additional organizational sponsors are welcome. Contact madeline@afgj.org to sign on!
