Roe V Wade: The history, the impact and the implications

Join Rebecca Forgasz  in conversation with Ronli Sifris as they unpack the far-reaching human rights implications for women around the world

On June 24th 2022, the US Supreme Court voted to overturn the Roe v Wade ruling of 1973. This resulted in abortions being restricted or removed in many states in the US and has left many women questioning their freedoms, human rights and what the future may hold.
