Institute for Women's Health events for International Women's Day 2021
Your Fertile Years; what you need to know to make informed choices
Author: Professor Joyce Harper
The theme of this year’s International Women’s Day is #ChooseToChallenge #iwd2021
A challenged world is an alert world.
Individually, we’re all responsible for our own thoughts and actions – all day, every day.
We can choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequality.
We can choose to seek out and celebrate women’s achievements.
Collectively, we can create an inclusive and more gender-equal world.
From challenge comes change, so let’s all choose to challenge.
The Institute for Women’s Health will be hosting four, free, online events to celebrate #iwd2021. Please book via the Eventbrite links. All events will be available on YouTube.
Sunday 7th March, 7pm – 8pm.
Have you ever been taught about how your body works; from the menstrual cycle to the menopause? Do you know that a woman’s fertility declines from her mid 30s? Do you know when your fertile window is? Or what you need to do to have a healthy pregnancy and birth?
Professor Joyce Harper, author of Your Fertile Years, will be joined by a panel of fertility experts to discuss why we need fertility education with a Q and A from the audience. Chairing the event will be Dr Larisa Corda, and on the panel will be Dr Raj Mathur, Chair of the British Fertility Society, Dr Mara Simopoulou, Chair of the Greek MyFertility campaign, and Emma Haslett, Journalist and co-host of @bigfatnegative podcast.
Joyce Harpers latest book, Your Fertile Years, will be published in April 2021, by Sheldon Press.
