Discussion 2023: The Ottawa Abortion Doula Collective: Challenging Stigma and Providing Support

Moderated by Alex Howard.

THIS DISCUSSION WAS HOSTED LIVE ON OCTOBER 29, 3023.

The Ottawa Abortion Doula Collective was founded by a small group of volunteers in 2019 to help fill gaps related to abortion access in the Ottawa area. This presentation will cover the basics of abortion access in Canada and the barriers that persist, what an abortion doula does, and how you can challenge abortion stigma and support abortion access in your own community.
