Lesbian and bisexual women's health, common concerns and local issues
Dear friends,Following the International Conference on LGBT Human Rights in Montreal in July this year, much has been said concerning lesbian and bisexual women's well being.
In particular we would like to share with you the presentations given at the the workshop "Lesbian and bisexual women's health, common concerns and local issues". The speakers took the initiative to present the campaigns they were running to promote health in their communities. The workshop gathered an attentive audience of about 45 people.
