The Stockholm's Association of International Affairs is happy to invite you to this year’s first gender lecture on the 15th of July with Alice Hansson about the conflict around the right to abortion in El Salvador.

Abortion law is a right that is challenged in many places and El Salvador is a strong example where women's right to abortion is not seen as a right and instead is seen as a crime. It is with this basis that Hansson will explain the problems that El Salvador’s abortion rights fighters are facing.

In Alice Hansson own words this lecture will be about:
How does sexual and ‘and rights in El Salvador and in Argentina work? During my lecture I will talk about my internship at a women’s rights organisation in El Salvador and my field work on the women’s rights movement in Argentina.

During my lectures, I will talk about civil society's struggle and work for women's rights in Latin America with a special focus on global goals 3, 5 and 6.
I will also share my experiences of how the criminalisation of abortion, how the society works to help these women, but also how to strengthen the sexual and reproductive rights of young people.


Date & time: Wednesday 15/7 at 17:00
Location: Online. A zoom link will be posted in the facebook event. The link to the facebook event is bellow.

It's less than 24 hours left until our annual discharge meeting where you can be elected to our board and vote who will become a part of our board! Do you still have second thoughts about applying? Why not read what our Editor in chef has to say about his experience with SAIA and maybe you will be convinced to join our board or at least maybe join the meeting to see what kind of board we are!

​

Remember, you still have a chance to become a part of our amazing board even if you haven't send in an application to us. All you have to do is to attend our "Apply for the board" meeting tomorrow at 2PM (14:00) through a zoom link we will post in the Facebook event and then all you to do is be prepared to perform a speech to us about why you are the right person for the position!

​

We hope to see you tomorrow - either as a voter or a candidate!:)
