Women Coming Together: Claiming the Law for Social Change
Presented by the University of Cincinnati College of Law and the Joint Degree Program in Law and  Women’s  Studies

At this two-day gathering, diverse women will articulate and activate an inclusive, progressive agenda for all women to help lead this nation in a positive direction. Women Coming Together will provide opportunities to develop new strategies, expand and enhance coalitions, and share ideas about how to “claim the law” as a vehicle for social change. Our main focus will be women’s health and well-being, taking a holistic approach to examining the many different factors affecting the ability of women to lead healthy lives. Among the issues we plan to address include: reproductive health, access to quality health care, media images, civil rights enforcement, immigration, and criminal justice. Please join us — activists, academics, advocates, people committed to social justice — at the University of Cincinnati for this exciting event.
