The AFIN Group and the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau are organizing the event: “Early Gestational Losses: Breaking Taboos, Building Bridges, Adding Voices” on October 15th from 10 AM to 6 PM, coinciding with the International Day of Perinatal Grief.
This interdisciplinary and intersectoral event will share results from the research and outreach project “Early Reproductive Losses: From Invisible Physical and Emotional Distress to Possible Personal, Family, and Social Grief” funded by Fundación La Caixa, Convocatoria Conecta 2021, with Principal Investigators: Diana Marre (UAB), María José Rodriguez Jaume (UA), and Elisa Llurba Olivé (Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau). This project is also developed within the framework of WP 12 of the RICORS-SAMID network.
The event aims to promote the visibility of early gestational losses, which generally do not receive the same recognition or legitimacy as those occurring later in the perinatal stage. The activity also seeks to respond to the need and demand—expressed by the study participants—to create spaces for collectively reflecting on the place attributed to gestational losses within medical practice and by society.
The activities are intended for an academic audience, healthcare professionals, members and institutions of women’s rights, civil associations related to the topic, secondary and higher education teachers, people who have experienced losses and their families and close circles, and the general public.
The event will include various activities such as plenary presentations, discussions, audiovisual screenings, and exhibitions. These activities will be held in person in the Auditorium of the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, Barcelona, and prior registration is required.
The program of activities and the registration form will be available soon on the AFIN Group website.
