Show Description:
In this powerful and impactful episode, host Monika Goodluck is joined by Senator Yvonne Boyer and Métis midwife Nathalie Pambrun to address one of Canada’s most harrowing healthcare injustices: the coerced and forced sterilization of women—a practice that disproportionately affects Indigenous women and their communities' ability to survive.
Together, they delve into the fight for justice through Bill S250, the efforts of survivors and allies to criminalize forced sterilization, and the vital role both Indigenous and non-Indigenous midwives can play in safeguarding the safety and dignity of their clients. This emotional and enlightening conversation reflects on the past, confronts hard truths, and explores pathways toward healing and justice.
Don’t miss this critical discussion about acknowledging harm, advocating for change, and the work needed to ensure a safer future for all.
