The 65th Commission on the Status of Women (CSW65) has started and is online. More than 25,000 registrants attending!

Join us on March 20th 3:30-5 pm AEDT or our own AFMW parallel session. The AFMW is the ONLY organisation out of the 699 presentations, talking about women doctors as advocates. The theme for the AFMW Parallel event is “COVID-19 Changed Everything – Australian Women Doctors as Gender Equity Advocates”. We have a line up of AFMW speakers presenting on mental health, COVID-19 effects on youth and families, interruption to cancer screening services, interruption to treatments and pregnancy care, medical women in advocating and steering changes needed. View the programme here. As there has been unprecedented interest in this event, the webinar will be recorded for viewing by members at a later date.

Acknowledgement from Dr Tania Schramm, President of AIDA, for this Saturday’s AFMW Parallel event.
