Resources and Information

It feels incorrect to call this Resources when the entire website is resources, but "Non-Legal, Non-Medical, Not Limited to New Brunswick But Still Relevant Information" didn't fit on the Navigation Bar. It includes Organizations referenced in the Care Guidelines, Government Departments, Activist Groups, Archival Projects, and Educational Initiatives.

"In The Fifth Wave: Curing the Healthcare Bias against Women, healthcare champions, the IWK Foundation, bring to light the profound and often dangerous consequences the gap in women’s health and research has had on women. The study of human biology has defaulted to the male body, which has hindered understanding of sex-based biological differences and results in fewer available and less effective treatments for women. We have been living in a world built for men, not only in heath care, but transportation, technology and beyond."
