Young Women Speak Out! Community Roundtables

July and August 2010 – Los Angeles and Fresno, CA
CLRJ developed a community-based participatory research project to assess young women’s perceptions about the real-life implementation of sexual health policies in California, and compiled the key findings in a Policy Research Report entitled, “Young Women Speak Out! (YWSO). YWSO was presented in two community roundtables to advocates and community leaders of youth-serving organizations, in the communities where the research focus groups were conducted. The YWSO Roundtables sparked constructive conversation about the obstacles and systemic factors that young women face in accessing reproductive health information, education, and services.

The Latina Monologues - A Platica hosted by Latinas Empowered for Action

Thursday, August 4, 2011, 6:30 PM-8:30 PM
This event is an open space for women and allies to listen and share their undertold stories/struggles with comprehensive healthcare.

Attendees will hear personal stories of mujeres trying to access equitable healthcare, have a critical dialogue about the underlying factors for existing barriers, and learn why immigrant rights are apart of the reproductive justice struggle. Attendees will also have an opportunity to learn to advocate for our sisters by empowering themselves with accurate legal information surrounding basic human rights we are ALL entitled to!

Please join us over coffee and contribute/listen to these necessary stories of resistance and advancement and discuss ways we can all be allies to both immigrant and U.S. born Latinas as they challenge discrimination from health care to education!
