The Global 16 Days Campaign was started in 1991 by the Center for Women’s Global Leadership and runs from November 25 to December 10. This year, we are focused on Reclaiming Our Rights.

16 Days 2025

Our health is impacted by genetics and the decisions we make on a daily basis. Indira Martin, PhD is a biomedical scientist and Director of the National Reference Lab. She will share recent scientific advances related to self efficacy with regard to health. We will talk about epigenetics (and how our genes are altered by environmental factors and traumatic events such as the Transatlantic Trade in Enslaved Persons), the gut-brain axis, and good practices we can put in place to improve our health.
