Global markets were seized by fear last week that trade wars were slowing growth in Germany, China and the United States. But the story here is bigger than President Trump and his tariffs.
Hannah Evans will explore the connections between population growth, access to comprehensive healthcare, and environmental sustainability. Through an examination of some of the root causes of population growth, she will highlight the links between poverty, marginalization, women’s rights, and environmental pressures made worse by climate change. Hannah will argue that global development is predicated on the institutionalization of reproductive autonomy and increased access to family planning worldwide. She will emphasize that the effects of U.S. policies such as the newly expanded Global Gag Rule have unnecessarily stifled progress and threatened the lives of millions of women.”
