by Shayna Plaut 20 Jul '22

20 Jul '22

As the summer months are here and the Centre for Human Rights Research has some important updates to share with you – all of which can be found on our website<https://chrr.info/> 1) The CHRR will be focusing on a new theme exploring the intersections of human rights and borders. “Questioning Borders?”<https://chrr.info/chrr-themes/borders/> by lead author Sara Gibson, an MHR student and CHRR research assistant, unpacks a critical understanding of borders beyond the nation state. We hope this theme will help guide us in future work including Critical Conversations, guest lectures and research opportunities and collaborations. Please note an extensive list of references and resources that can be downloaded found at the bottom of the page. 2) Carlie Kane, a student at Robson Hall and the Indigenous Summer Intern with the CHRR, has compiled an extensive timeline for Aboriginal Law. This resource<https://chrr.info/other-resources/aboriginal-law-resources/>, starting pre-contact and reaching up to the present includes detailed legal and historical information and also includes a rich list of resources and references 3) On July 13, 2022 the Centre for Human Rights Research at the University of Manitoba hosted an informative, webinar roundtable discussion “Fighting for Reproductive Rights in 2022.” This discussion brought together a variety of scholars and advocates – and those who identify as both – including Karen Sharma, Nahanni Fontaine, Kemlin Nembhard, Dr. Sarah Elvins, and Dr. Lindsay Larios. The video of the roundtable<https://chrr.info/past-events/> as well as an indepth list of resources on reproductive health, justice and advocacy<https://chrr.info/other-resources/reproductive-rights-resources/> compiled by Cassie Dong, a CHRR research assistant and incoming PhD student in Peace and Conflict Studies, is posted under “past events” on our website We invite you all to explore and share these resources on our website and to offer any feedback for how you may use them as well as suggestions for how to make it more comprehensive and useful.

FIGHTING FOR REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS IN 2022 - JULY 13TH - VIRTUAL ROUNDTABLE - NOON-1PM CT
by Shayna Plaut 12 Jul '22

12 Jul '22

On July 13th from noon-1pm CT, the Centre for Human Rights Research at the University of Manitoba is hosting an informative, webinar roundtable discussion "Fighting for Reproductive Rights in 2022." Bringing together a variety of scholars and advocates – and those who identify as both: Karen Sharma, Nahanni Fontaine, Kemlin Nembhard, Dr. Sarah Elvins, Dr. Lindsay Larios, we aim to provide context, information and solidarity as we move forward. PLEASE JOIN US FOR THE WEBINAR AT: http://bit.ly/3P2pp9e [https://us06st3.zoom.us/static/6.1.7243/image/thumb.png]<http://bit.ly/3P2pp9e> Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Fighting for Reproductive Rights in 2022. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.<http://bit.ly/3P2pp9e> Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Fighting for Reproductive Rights in 2022. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar. bit.ly [cid:b5b84383-06e8-464e-b988-37f3c20c379f] The overturning of Roe V Wade by the Supreme Court of the United States is shocking and will have long term consequences. It also seems to be just the beginning of a movement to once again legitimate control – through law -- over the lives and bodies of women and girls, especially those without the means to travel. Of course, this is not new. According to international law, reproductive rights means the right to choose the number and spacing of your children. Forced and coerced sterilization of Indigenous women, lack of access to abortions (medical and surgical) outside of urban areas and ongoing systemic racism in the health care system and institutions shows that Canada is no utopia for reproductive rights. We are also well aware that other rights, especially those of the LGBTQ+ community, are coming under the crosshairs. Although the decision took place in US courts, we all know that the ripple effects will be felt across borders, including for those of located north of the 49th parallel.

Authorized for service in Nova Scotia, its recruitment efforts later stretched across the country. Approximately 780 people served with the No. 2 Construction Battalion, which operated in Canada, England and France. Those soldiers carried out crucial work in support of operations on the Western Front, including the movement of supplies and the repair of roads and railroads. They did much of this work within the dangerous range of the fighting and at great personal risk.

Le bataillon a d’abord été autorisé à servir en Nouvelle-Écosse, puis ses efforts de recrutement se sont ensuite étendus à tout le pays. Environ 780 personnes ont servi dans le 2e Bataillon de construction, qui a opéré au Canada, en Angleterre et en France. Ces soldats ont effectué des travaux essentiels à l’appui des opérations sur le front occidental, notamment le transport de fournitures et la réparation de routes et de chemins de fer. Ils ont effectué une grande partie de ce travail dans le périmètre dangereux des combats et au prix de grands risques personnels.
