The end of Roe v. Wade, a Supreme Court decision that protected abortion rights in the United States for almost exactly 50 years, means at least 52 percent of American women and other people with the capacity for pregnancy will face new restrictions on their ability to have abortions. Furthermore, the implications of this setback to human rights reach far beyond the borders of the United States.

In this webinar our distinguished panel reflected on the global implications of the fall of Roe. It featured the Rt Hon Helen Clarkin conversation with Mina Barling, Director for External Relations at International Planned Parenthood Federation, Stephen Omollo, CEO at Plan International, and Dr Maliha Khan, President & CEO of Women Deliver. The panel was chaired by long serving research fellow at the Helen Clark Foundation, Dr. Holly Walker.
