For #IWD2024 let's step forward in solidarity & help forge an inclusive world for #women🌎 Collectively let's call out stereotypes, challenge bias & end discrimination. Let's uplift & celebrate women's achievements. #InspireInclusion 👉bit.ly/IWD2024 Image:MelanieArt #LA
Tomorrow is #internationalwomensday ! In preparation, check out this @peoplingthepast podcast episode featuring two of our faculty, Dr Chelsea Gardner and Dr Natalie Swain!
Our data from Nova Scotia found 65% of food insecure caregivers worried about the cost of formula and 13% ran out of formula and didn’t have the money to buy more - in 2022. And the cost now is up over 20%. In Canada we still ignore the problem of infant food insecurity
Today we have released a report on the devastating impact rising formula costs are having on women and families. We're calling for urgent and bold measures to curb the cost of formula milk. For our mothers, babies, and families - we must get this right 🍼 bpas.org/about-bpas/pre…
We’re looking for volunteers for this years memorial for Canada’s National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. Interested in helping out? Email Patrick Vitale!
Check out the full schedule for this years BAC Talks! We’ve got a lot of exciting topics coming your way and hope to see you there 😁
August 1st provides us with the opportunity to reflect on the heroism of our ancestors whose physical bodies were in shackles but whose minds could not be conquered. We are here because they persevered.
Learn more about the important research of Dr. Mary Sweatman, member of @AcadiaWGS planning committee
A researcher said some people find it “shocking” to learn that there are so many individuals and families throughout the Annapolis Valley who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. saltwire.com/atlantic-canad…

It was wonderful to meet up with @feedukorg for our chat on #infantfoodinsecurity. Rich countries have a lot of work to do to ensure infants’ and everyone’s right to food. How we do that must be guided by equity values @AcadiaUNews
