Liana Salvador helps open the ‘What Makes a Man’ White Ribbon Conference!

Liana Salvador is in her second term as Vice-President Education of the Ryerson Students’ Union and is a nursing student with a passion for social justice and human rights. In the fall of 2009, Salvador led the charge in organizing and facilitating the CFS Task Force on Campus Racism in order to identify and challenge discriminatory practices in the university. She has been working with student representatives to address poverty and promote affordable and accessible education by meeting with MPs, MPPs and City Councilors to address issues of student debt and high tuition fees. She has worked to build a coalition of students, staff and faculty at Ryerson to collectively oppose budget cuts and tuition fee hikes that threaten the quality of education on campus.

Liana has worked to defend women’s rights by supporting and speaking at International Women’s Day, fighting for women’s reproductive rights in clinic defenses, working with women’s organizations for the G20 reproductive rights rally and by coordinating the No Means No campaign at Ryerson University. This past year she mobilized with community organizations to push back against Quebec’s oppressive Bill 94 – which would deny essential public services to women who wear the niqab. She and the RSU are now working to create a sexual assault support line to provide a student-run peer support service for survivors of sexual assault. Liana intends to dedicate her nursing career to the promotion of women’s health and equity and is currently a volunteer at Hassle-Free Clinic.

Alan Sears will speak on ‘what makes a man take responsibility and challenge violent masculinity?’ at the White Ribbon Conference!

 

Alan Sears teaches Sociology at Ryerson University and is a long-time activist in queer and radical movements. He has written about queer movements, AIDS/HIV, the education system, work and radical renewal.

“It is disproportionately young men who carry out this brutalization, so full liberation means challenging the particular kinds of masculinity that promote violence against both women and those perceived as “queers” says Alan in his article ’30 Years On: The Toronto Bathhouse Raids and Sexual and Gender Liberation’  in the New Socialist Webzine

Ruthie Anderson on Yoga, Gender, Health and Healing at the White Ribbon Conference

Ruthie Anderson will lead conference attendees through a Yoga Stretch break at their seats, at the mid-afternoon point of the ‘What Makes a Man’ White Ribbon Conference at Ryerson University. Ruthie will help us stretch after a day of amazing conversation and discuss intersections of Healing Mind, Body and Soul as we move into a section of the conference looking at how gender impacts our connection to health, healing and nutrition.

Ruthie Anderson is a 3rd year nursing student that has adopted yoga into her life from a very young age. Having practiced yoga for its numerous mind, body and spiritual benefits for over 8 years, she became a Registered Yoga Teacher through Moksana Yoga Centre in Victoria, BC in 2008. Her belief in preventative medicine coupled with social justice has led her to teaching experiences at the Ryerson Womens Centre and at Spirit Wind Internal Arts on a donation basis.
