The afternoon plenary session will explore lessons and challenges facing the women's health and reproductive justice movement. World-renowned reproductive rights leaders from three countries will discuss the tenuous state of women's health around the globe.

Subscribe to Guttmacher Update!
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
The Guttmacher Institute is increasingly using free e-mail newsletters to disseminate critical information that decision makers—policymakers, health professionals and program administrators—and advocates need to take informed action. These newsletters include the latest research, news and policy analysis on sexual and reproductive health issues. I am writing to describe the e-mail alert options and to urge you, if you are not already a subscriber, to sign up for the newsletter(s) that would be most useful to you.
Our most popular newsletter is the Guttmacher Update, which updates subscribers a few times each month with the latest in sexual and reproductive health news. The Institute also offers electronic alerts designed specifically for health care providers, the media, and those interested in state-level issues or in our Protecting the Next Generation work with adolescents in Sub-Saharan Africa.
There are two ways you can sign up for our e-mail newsletters: You can subscribe online, and learn more about the Institute at the same time. Alternatively, you can e-mail me and I will be happy to add you to the list(s) of your choice. Please note that we will not add anyone without their explicit consent, and whichever way you register, you will receive a confirmation e-mail to ensure that you requested to be added to the list.
Thank you for your interest in the Guttmacher Institute; we appreciate your continued support. Please feel free to contact me for more information.
