The University of Toledo celebrates the history of women throughout March with a slate of events, including a screening of a documentary about a now-shuttered abortion clinic; a town hall on advancing gender equity; and the fourth Annual Womxn of Color Symposium.<\/p>\n

\u201cWomen\u2019s History Month provides us all an opportunity to celebrate how far women have come and to unpack the obstacles that remain in our way,\u201d said Dr. Angela Fitzpatrick, director of the Catharine S. Eberly Center for Women. \u201cWe are excited for the programs created by our planning committee and look forward to engaging our campus and community in this important exploration of women\u2019s issues.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBody State\u201d explores the history of the now-closed Center for Choice, an abortion clinic in Toledo started in 1983 by reproductive rights activist Carol Dunn. Using interviews, found footage and spoken word, \u201cBody State\u201d documents the voices of women fighting for reproductive rights and justice amongst a landscape of threats, violence and uncertainty.<\/p>\n

The screening is 4:30 p.m. in the Eberly Center Lounge.<\/p>\n
