Throughout 2022, YSWC hosted an online book club based on the National Association of Women and the Law's "Feminist Law Reform 101" online course. In September 2022, NAWL came to Whitehorse and co-facilitated a 2-day workshop on law reform tools. One of the days focused on the gendered impacts of climate change.
