I’m honored to present at JWI’s Fifth International Conference on Domestic Violence in the Jewish Community.
I was asked to present on the intersection of reproductive coercion and the overturning of Roe v. Wade. My workshop is called “Abortion Access, Reproductive Coercion, and Domestic Violence,” during the National Conversations: Implications to the Domestic Violence Field track.
I am so proud to be participating in this conference. I’m a former intern, and I’ve attended multiple advocacy days on the Hill, Women’s Leadership Conferences, and Women to Watch Awards. JWI has been an integral part of my journey honing the connections between Judaism, feminism, and advocacy. JWI is where I discovered my love of writing. My very first piece ever published was in JWI’s digital magazine. I spent an entire summer honing my voice and discovering how I could use my words to effect change.
My virtual session is on Wednesday, October 26 from 12:15 to 1:00 p.m ET and tickets for the entire conference are $36 for individuals. Register here.
Session Description
In the wake of the recent Dobbs v. Jackson Supreme Court decision, abortion access has been severely restricted in many parts of the country. As a result, advocates for survivors of intimate partner violence are worried about the effect the loss of sexual and reproductive health care will have. Participants in this session will learn the far-reaching consequences of Dobbs v. Jackson, learn how survivors of reproductive coercion may face new obstacles, and learn how to incorporate abortion access advocacy into their work.
