Advancing Womxn: Informed choices for women’s contraception

In celebrating women and their achievements in fields of research, UCT hosted a virtual Women’s Day event, For Womxn by Womxn, on 13 August, affording a platform for researchers who received scholarships launched by Vice Chancellor Professor Mamokgethi Phakeng in 2018 for the advancement of women to give feedback about the progression of their projects. In this video, Professor Janet Hapgood, a recipient of this grant, discusses her research on ‘Informed choices for women’s contraception’, while her students give details of their research and share about how they have been empowered through this initiative.
