Sick of It: The Global Fight for Women’s Health with Sophie Harman

Join us for a conversation with author Sophie Harman. Her new book, Sick of It, is a powerful call to confront the reasons why politics is jeopardizing women’s health across the world. She is a prize-winning academic, Professor of International Politics at Queen Mary University of London.

We know the causes of disease and death among women all over the world. We have the funding from governments and philanthropists to tackle them. So why are women still dying when they don't have to?

Across the globe, women's health is being caught in the crossfire of politics: from the repeal of abortion rights and the bombing of Ukrainian maternity hospitals, to lesser-known issues like healthwashing and the exploitation of vulnerable patients as well as women health workers.

Exploring urgent questions including populism, big data and the undervaluing of women's work, Sick of It also offers smart solutions on how to fix this crisis through activism and political work.

Sophie will give a brief talk about the many topics included in her book, and answer questions from the audience.
