5 Feb 2011This Monday I am attending a media breakfast hosted by the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and Latina Magazine titled Nuestra Comunidad : Nuestra Salud , Our Comnmunity : Our Health.
The stated purpose of the event is to discuss inequities in reproductive health care affecting Latinas, to share the latest information on STD’s and unintended pregnancy, and teen pregnancy rates in Latinas, to review public opinion polling among Latinas regarding co-pays for prescription birth control, and to unveil the latest technology available to reach Latinos with reproductive health information and services.
As a Latina, I know I will be asking about the access for the uninsured (like myself), youth access and information, multilingual access, access and safety issues for undocumented women,, access and safety issues for lesbian, transgender women, and gender nonconforming people, and more.
But perhaps more important is what you, some of our VivirLatino readers would like to ask or know. I plan on live-tweeting the event (as connectivity allows) via our twitter account. You can submit questions and comments there. You can submit questions and comments via the comment form below, via our Facebook account, or you can send an email to info@vivirlatino.com.
VivirLatino is a daily publication published by Mamita Mala Media, dedicated to featuring all the latest politics, culture, entertainment of interest to the diverse Latin@ diaspora.
