In this episode we have very special guest Joyce Arthur joining us. Joyce has been an abortion rights activist since 1988. She is the founder and Executive Director of Canada’s national pro-choice group, the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada (ARCC), which protects the legal right to abortion on request and works to improve access to quality abortion services. In Part Two of our Abortion Episodes we discuss how everyone can become involved in protecting our access to abortion in Canada. Joyce also explains how people can obtain an abortion if they are living in a city or rurally.
More on Joyce Arthur
Before founding ARCC in 2005, Joyce ran the Pro-Choice Action Network in British Columbia for 10 years and edited the national newsletter Pro-Choice Press, which she began in 1995.
Joyce has written hundreds of articles on abortion and other political and social justice issues. As a media spokesperson and international speaker, she has spoken at dozens of venues in Canada and internationally, given hundreds of media interviews, and appeared in several documentaries.
As a social media activist, Joyce maintains several Facebook pages and websites devoted to reproductive rights, including Abortion News, and she operates email listservs for abortion providers and leading advocates within Canada and around the world.
Joyce is also a co-founder of FIRST, a national feminist group that advocates for the rights of sex workers and for the decriminalization of prostitution in Canada. She moderates the FIRST listserv and FIRST Facebook page, and does media communications for FIRST.
Although we are focusing on Canada's organizations we hope this episode will inspire you to research how you can support reproductive and human rights in your country.
