Wade"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

June 20, 2023 \u2014<\/strong> There is a battle being waged against our rights and our bodies. The overturning of Roe v. Wade<\/em> one year ago was a monumental setback in the ongoing global fight to defend abortion rights, but it did not stop there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRight now, we\u2019re witnessing a coordinated global movement that opposes sexual and reproductive rights, bodily autonomy, and gender equality,\u201d says Fr\u00e9d\u00e9rique Chabot, Director of Health Promotion at Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights, \u201cPolitical actors and influential individuals are actively working against advancement of these rights.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The denial of sexual and reproductive rights has life-altering consequences and is happening in Canada and globally. Anti-2SLGBTQIA+ laws are being passed in the United States, Uganda and Russia, racist anti-migrant laws and policies are being enacted across Europe, and protections for queer and trans students are being threatened in New Brunswick alongside book bans, attacks on drag story times, disinformation, restrictions on gender-affirming care and heightened anti-trans hate on and offline across Canada. This coordinated mobilization is inherently connected to heightened hyper-nationalism and religious fundamentalisms and wider attacks on human rights globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recognition of the Roe v. Wade<\/em> overturn anniversary, Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights and the Women\u2019s Legal Education & Action Fund (LEAF) join 126 signatories in reaffirming our commitments to building just societies<\/strong><\/a> where all people have control over their bodies and lives and speaking up against hate and discrimination as well as policies and laws that dehumanize and disempower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAn attack on rights anywhere is an attack on rights everywhere,\u201d says Chabot, \u201cwe are more committed than ever to defending sexual and reproductive rights, gender equality, and to collectively fighting against hate and discrimination.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The overturning of Roe v. Wade<\/em> ended 50 years of constitutional protections for abortion in the U.S. The fight against our sexual and reproductive rights is not over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abortion\u2019s legal status in Canada has been settled since 1988, but access to abortion is still far from equitable and opponents of reproductive rights continue to attempt to introduce new restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Action Canada and its partners are calling on all levels of government to continue to take action until abortion access is a reality for everyone in this country<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe cannot be complacent as we witness human rights being attacked on multiple fronts,\u201d says Jen Gammad, Communications and Advocacy Manager at LEAF. \u201cWe cannot let hate and discrimination be the new normal in our communities, let alone legislated into existence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are also calling on our governments to work to stem the unprecedented tide of anti-2SLGBTQIA+ hate and discrimination<\/strong><\/a> across the country and to challenge rising disinformation by investing in a strong civil society that centres diverse intersectional feminist movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the key to strong, stable democracies that work to leave no one behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
