The YSWC will be completing the following activities:

• A needs assessment of Yukoners on their experiences accessing abortion. This will take place in the form of a survey shared widely throughout the territory, which will be informed by an advisory group made up of various community members.

• The YSWC has also contracted Open North, a nonprofit organization specialising in data governance, to develop a data hub for the Opal Clinic that would allow for clearer and less siloed access to anonymized data on abortion access. 

• Based on the findings from the two previous activities, the YSWC will help to develop a various resources aimed at both service providers and service seekers to make access to abortion easier in the Yukon.

The YSWC is committed to the broader movement of reproductive justice including “the human right to maintain personal bodily autonomy, have children, not have children, and parent the children we have in safe and sustainable communities” (Women of Colour Reproductive Justice Collective). Abortion is just one part of this movement and the YSWC will continue to work with the Yukon Reproductive Care Coalition to ensure that Yukoners have better access to all forms of reproductive care.
