Side Event Ubumwe Grande Hotel - Ikaze Room	This is a panel discussion for grassroots youth, women with disabilities, young people living with HIV and other marginalized communities from the region to tell stories Read More This is a panel discussion for grassroots youth, women with disabilities, young people living with HIV and other marginalized communities from the region to tell stories of how stigma and judgmental attitudes affect their access to basic reproductive health information and services, including abortion; and how this is perpetuated and sustained in the ongoing reproductive justice activism. They will also share innovative strategies used to circumvent stigma and other social normative and legal barriers. The event will therefore provide a platform for rethinking reproductive rights of these most socially marginalized communities and condemn the ongoing discrimination and backlash against their reproductive rights and bodily autonomy.
