Université féministe d'été
Les développements scientifiques et technologiques ont permis d'améliorer considérablement les conditions de vie des femmes, particulièrement au cours des dernières décennies. Ces développements ont procuré aux femmes un plus grand contrôle sur leur corps - pensons à la contraception - et sur les effets de l'environnement sur leur santé - dans ce cas, pensons à l'alimentation et à l'exercice physique. Malgré ces avancées, des enjeux demeurent cruciaux pour favoriser la santé des femmes. Les femmes sont davantage exposées à la violence au cours de leur vie. Leurs revenus étant plus limités, elles vivent davantage de pauvreté, ce qui a une incidence sur leur santé à tous les âges de leur vie. De plus, elles demeurent responsables de la plus grande partie du travail de soins aux enfants et aux personnes dépendantes, que ce soit à titre de travailleuses ou de proches aidantes. Ainsi, il importe d'examiner de façon critique et interdisciplinaire les enjeux liés à la santé des femmes. L'Université féministe d'été vous convie à une semaine intensive d'échanges et de ressourcement, en compagnie de spécialistes œuvrant dans différents domaines. Nous y analyserons divers enjeux associés à la santé des femmes, notamment la violence, la migration, l'accès aux soins, le rôle de soignantes, et la santé sexuelle et maternelle. 
Pour vous inscrire au Colloque
 
L'inscription au colloque de l'Université féministe d'été donne accès à toutes les activités : les conférences, les activités libres, la réception et la conférence publique en soirée. Les frais d'inscription ne comprennent pas l'hébergement, les déplacements ou les repas. Pour connaître les prix et les modalités d'inscription, cliquez ici.
 
Au plaisir de vous rencontrer !
