Daily feminist cheat sheet

This week, advocates are gathering in Copenhagen, Denmark for the 2016 Women Deliver conference. From maternal health funding cuts to the “elephant in the room” [hint: it’s abortion] to youth health and rights, there’s a lot on the agenda. Can’t be there in person? Follow along with the livestream or on Twitter using #WD2016.

Happy birthday Adrienne Rich (via Literary Hub).

“The impact of this investment would be dramatic.”

Demand justice for a Salvadoran woman in jail for miscarriage.

Pssst – did you hear we’re looking for new columnists?
