Culture, Gender, Race & Sexual and Reproductive Health Webinar Series
Women’s Health East warmly invites you to attend our two webinars focusing on the intersectionality, special considerations and practical implications when working with migrant and refugee communities on sensitive topics, such as sexual and reproductive health.
These webinars provide an opportunity to move beyond discussions on singular health or social topics and instead delve deeper into exploring the often-overlooked intersectionality and the nuances of working with migrant and refugee women.
The Culture, Gender, Race and Sexual and Reproductive Health webinar series features knowledgeable guest speakers who have extensive experiences working with migrant and refugee women on sexual and reproductive health.

- Piergiorgio Moro, MHSS Coordinator, Multicultural Health & Support Service

You are welcome to attend one or both webinars.
They are designed to complement each other but equally can be attended alone. Please register for each session separately.
Who should attend?
We welcome all people who are interested in these topics, especially health professionals who would like to gain a deeper understanding of the unique considerations when working with migrant and refugee women on sexual and reproductive health matters. This includes but is not limited to practitioners from community health services, hospitals, general practice, Women’s health services, local and state government, and university students.
We also welcome health professionals who work in other health areas, such as mental health, gender equality and prevention of violence against women . These webinars will provide a great opportunity to explore the intersections of sexual and reproductive health with their work areas, such as reproductive coercion and sexual abuse.
