WONCA CONFERENCES

Despite these discouraging trends, there is more proof than ever that violence against women and girls is preventable. Evidence shows that the single most important driver of policy change is a strong and autonomous women’s movement— making feminist mobilization in the face of anti-rights backlash a literal matteroflifeanddeath. This 16 Days, we’re encouraging everyone to get involved: from amplifying the voices of survivors and activists to supporting women’s organizations and strengthening feminist movements, we can all act to empower survivors, reduce and prevent violence against women and girls,andprotectwomen’srights. As part of the #16days of activism against #genderviolence, women family doctors from Latin America discussed the role of Family Medicine in eradicating violence againstwomen. Relive this dialogue (in Spanish) with Dr Jacqueline Ponzo, President of Wonca Iberoamericana CIMF, as a special guest. Watch the session here.
