Stopping the spread of gender-based inequity. A med student-led initiative supporting womxn and shelters to reduce gender inequity through COVID-19

[COVID-19 Women's Initiative (CWI) @COVID_WI]

THANK YOU to everyone who supported us so generously over the past 8 months to help us help womxn. We are very pleased to announce that we were able to support over 35 Canadian women’s shelters through the COVID-19 pandemic. We could not have done this without you. 👏

Today, on #HumanRightsDay 2020, we sent an open letter (link below) demanding no-cost #contraceptionforall to @celliottability and @fordnation. If you agree that reproductive rights are #HumanRights, retweet and call on @ONgov to #CoverContraceptiON now!

Thank you to everyone who came out to donate on September 12! The 10,000+ items we collected have been distributed to the 16 shelters we partnered with in London and the GTA 💕

Access to contraception for all. While I was involved specifically to author and edit this letter, this is the brain child of @EmmaSkolnik @COVID_WI @_alixmurphy @adavid03 @SarahAFreeman2 and others that I cannot @!

Sign and share if you believe, too.
