Reproductive Health, Rights & Justice: Before, During and Beyond
10:30 a.m.-12 p.m. | BCEC Ballroom
After the
Supreme Court's landmark decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, reproductive freedom,
including the right to choose abortion, was placed out of reach for many. This
session brings together leading experts to discuss what advocates are doing to
ensure access to all forms of reproductive health care and autonomy for all individuals and families. |
Environmental Justice:
Voices from the Frontline
2:30-4:00 p.m. | BCEC - West Ballroom
The first and most important step toward environmental justice
and equitable health outcomes is to follow the lead of the communities that have
been battling against structural racism for decades. In this featured session,
community leaders will discuss the disproportionate health impacts they face and
present strategies and solutions to bring about a more just society. |
Health Determinants, Data
and Decision-making
4:30-6:00 p.m. | BCEC - West Ballroom
In April 2020,
the Rockefeller Foundation and Boston University School of Public Health launched
the Commission on Health Determinants, Data, and Decision-Making, known as the
3-D Commission. The Commission sought to explore the key social and economic drivers
that influence health outcomes and illustrate how data on social determinants
of health can be integrated into decision-making to improve the health of all.
This session will discuss the resulting report and its implications for better
decision-making for global health.
