Health Canada has announced that it will be giving over $4 million in funding to two projects that are intended to increase abortion access across Canada for “underserved populations” as part of the federal government’s Sexual Reproductive Health Fund (SRHF) created in 2021.
The total allocation of $4.2 million in federal funding will go toward the University of British Columbia’s Contraception and Abortion Research Team (CART) and the “Access for All Expansion” project being conducted by the organization Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights, which describes itself as “Planned Parenthood Canada.”
