WHAT IS IT?

The Global Health calendar, or GH calendar, is a tool that will centralize information about events occurring worldwide related to Global Health, so you can easily access them and you don’t miss anything! The events will be published by us, but you can contribute in filling the calendar with GH events of your interest. We want this tool to be easily accessible, practical, updated and collaborative.

It is important to note that we do not organize the events found in this calendar. The ones organized by the Global Health Next Generation Network are found in Events.

This means that we cannot ensure that this events will happen, and we do not take responsibility if they are cancelled. We also want to make clear that we are not receiving any gains from promoting these events.

HOW CAN YOU CONTRIBUTE?

You can contribute to the GH calendar by sending us events you find interesting in the form found below, as long as they are within the scope of Global Health. We’ll review them and publish them on the calendar.

At the same time, you can also add comments giving your opinion of past events you have attended, either if you knew about them thanks to our tool or not. You will find the comments form soon in this page.

6:30 pm: Belly of the Beast (Film Screening)


March 11, 2021

Title: Belly of the Beast

Organizers: Graduate Institute Student Association (GISA), Human Rights, Conflict & Peace initiative and Gender Centre, Graduate Institute Geneva

Description: Belly of the Beast exposes modern-day eugenics and reproductive injustice in California prisons, through intimate accounts from currently and formerly incarcerated people.

Kelli Dillon, who was involuntarily sterilised at the age of 24 while incarcerated, teams up with Cynthia Chandler, a human rights lawyer, to fight for reproductive justice at the world’s largest women’s prison, the Central California Women’s Facility. As they prepare to take Kelli’s case to court, they uncover a wide range of crimes occurring within the facility – from inadequate access to healthcare to sexual assault to illegal sterilization – the latter largely perpetrated against the facility’s Black and Latinx populations.

Their joint efforts in exposing the atrocities carried out behind closed doors ultimately shed new, timely light on the systemic racism and violence impacting people of color in women’s prisons, in a fight for reparations and justice.
