The Denied: Barriers Migrant Women Face to Accessing Abortion Health Care

Meet Frédérique Chabot, the Director of Health Promotion and
Interim Executive Director of Action Canada for Sexual Health &
Rights, an organization that promotes health, wellbeing and rights
related to sexuality and reproduction. We talk about the barriers
the COVID-19 pandemic has erected in accessing abortion health care
and how these barriers are more severe for migrant women given that
access is reliant on the immigration status one has. As you listen
to this episode, consider how there is a need to consider access to
health care with a gendered and racialized lens and how pandemic
responses so far have ignored migrant women.
