Hi everyone!

Today's recent conversation, which is rather an important one, has been sparked by Europe’s recent decision to pass the first paid 'menstrual leave' law. This new policy has sparked intense debate over whether it will help or hinder women at work, and we're going to chime in on that.

Robyn's Podcast: Living Life Squirrel (on all your Podcasting platforms)

Hello everyone! 

The internet has given us incredible tools for communication, learning, and entertainment. But it has also created new opportunities for those who seek to exploit the vulnerable, particularly children. The rise of social media and messaging apps has made it easier for predators to connect with children, groom them, and ultimately abuse them for their own sick purposes.

In this episode we will be joined with Dan and Robyn Hanson who will share their experiences and insights on how we can work together to protect children from online predators and how parents and guardians should be wary of what is going on behind the screen of their child's phone. 

This is a difficult and sensitive topic, but it is one that demands our attention. 

It so happens to be that our official launch date falls on Wednesday, March 8- International Women's Day! So of course, it makes complete sense to start off our Women's Health Wednesdays by talking about this year's IWD theme, embrace equality. In this episode, we will be focusing on why it's important to incorporate equity when advocating for women, in every form, and how it is an essential part of the movement for a more inclusive society for women. 

Hello everyone! This episode is the first ever episode of our podcast, and of course, it would be natural to have our first guest be Carmen Wyton, the president and founder of the Women's Health Coalition. She's joining us to talk all this WHC, why she started the organization, advocacy, how to start important conversations, and what she aspires the future of women's health to look like. 

Welcome to the first episode of the Women's Health Coalition (WHC) Canada Podcast! In this short episode, our host Mary Mohamad will be giving you the run down on all things WHC and this podcast- from missions, visions, goals, and what you can expect from us. 

Thank you so much for joining us on this incredible journey of change, and we look forward to engaging with you every other Wednesday.
