Hello! My name is Solstice Toews. I am a Registered Nurse from the Yukon, currently living and working in the Okanagan. I am passionate about women’s health and advocacy. I am hoping to start a Master’s in Nursing in the fall of 2024, with my focus being on better understanding women’s pain and how it is assessed and treated in a health care context. Through my professional practice and in my personal life I hope to work with others towards closing the health equity gap in Canada and around the globe. I completed a bachelor of science in nursing at UBCO and have worked in a number of hospital and community settings, including a women’s clinic providing reproductive care. I am just beginning to branch out from healthcare work to a more global advocacy perspective. I hope to continue to learn and be inspired through ICN and the CSW68, and to bring this knowledge into my community and work. I know that this conference will be a great way to become more involved in the work being done to strive for equality and empowerment, which I am very passionate about and believe will positively affect communities, our planet, and quality of life for all.
I am Samantha Saksagiak. I come from Nain, Nunatsiavut. I am inuk. Inuit are an indigenous group in Canada. I am a youth leader pursuing law to become a lawyer and I am currently doing my degree at Memorial University. I am honored to be involved in the CSW68 conference because inuit voices need to be heard and listened to, youth voices need to be listened to. I have a unique perspective, coming from a small, isolated inuit community where the land and people are so beautiful, but we are struggling to survive. Indigenous people in Canada are being denied our basic human rights such as access to clean drinking water. My goal in life is to help people. One thing I wish to come from this conference is that people will be helped and voices will not only be heard, but that action will happen to help inuit and those all over the world.
