Monday Africa Seminar Series

Women's Health and Empowerment in Africa

Lecture series organized by Paula Tavrow

Over the past decade, there has been growing recognition that progress in improving African women's health will be stymied if the structural context of women's lives, their decision-making autonomy and their status in society are not addressed. For this series, three noted African women physicians will reflect on the challenges of addressing a key facet of African women’s reproductive health, and will discuss best strategies for the future.
