Toegang tot seksuele en reproductieve gezondheid en rechten blijft ongelijk voor vrouwen en mannen, jongens en meisjes over de hele wereld. Dit is des te meer het geval in situaties van verhoogde kwetsbaarheid, zoals migratiecontexten. Of het nu bij vertrek, langs migratieroutes of bij aankomst in gastlanden is, op verschillende momenten worden migranten geconfronteerd met barrières voor hun seksuele en reproductieve rechten.

In deze Kapuscinski Development Lecture zal Sarah Costa, de Executive Director van de Women’s Refugee Commission, spreken over ‘Gendergelijkheid en reproductieve gezondheid in een veranderende humanitaire context’.

The Goettingen Diversity Research Institute is organizing the third international Summer School on “Globalization and Diversity” which will be held from 08.07.-19.07.2019 in cooperation with partner universities from Europe, the United States and Japan.

The Summer School will provide bachelor and master students with an overview of current debates on social diversity, taking place both on a global and a local scale. First, students will gain theoretical knowledge through lectures by international scholars. Secondly, they will learn about specifically German perspectives and topics related to diversity (excursions to a variety of local sites). Finally, students will be able to pursue their own research in student-led seminars.

Participation is free of charge for the selected candidates. Due to funding by the University of Göttingen the Summer School will be able to offer travel grants for international participants. The Summer School also provides free organized accommodation for the selected international participants.
