We are excited to share that we are co-organizing and hosting, with a diverse group of inroads members, a powerful panel at the RightsCon 2022 Summit titled Futuristic practices of Abortion Care: Diverse, Dignified, Digital Spaces for Informed and Accompanied Abortion.

About the panel:

Through the panel discussion, participants will learn about the futuristic and creative approaches in which diverse organizations and collectives are busting abortion stigma and ensuring its access through a range of relevant digital-based community-care centered processes for abortion accompaniment, narrative transformation, social decriminalization and stigma-busting that are building the just, equitable and dignified future we need—and as Toni Cade Bambara said: “make justice and revolution irresistible”. 

Date & time: 2 to 3 PM on  June 8, 2022

Panelists from the inroads community:

• Camila Ochoa Mendoza, from Abortion with Love Podcast & Women Help Women
• Ihunanya Chukwu, from Generation Initiative for Women and Youth Network and Mama Sophia App
• Jasmine George, from Hidden Pockets Collective
• Zachi Brewster, from Dopo Abortion Support
• Moderator: Aditi Pinto, from inroads 

We organize and support inroads members’ participation in key convening spaces as part of our commitment to amplifying the voices, dreams, and efforts of our powerful stigma-busting community and to raise awareness, build solidarity, and ensure participation in strategic spaces and processes.  In an effort to correct the inequitable compensation and volunteerism trend in the traditional global development sector, we are also committed to ensuring that members who contribute their wisdom and lived experiences at key convening spaces receive just compensation for their offerings and allocate inroads resources to do so.
