The National Council of Jewish Women of Canada Presents
Ageism in Medicine
with Dr. Samir Sinha, MD, DPhil, FRCPC, AGSF
WHY DOES AGEISM REMAIN AN ACCEPTABLE FORM OF DISCRIMINATION? AND WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT IT.
Dr. Sinha poses this question to help explore what AGEism is and why it remains an active issue that negatively impacts the lives of individuals seeking medical care each day.
Through better understanding it and its negative impacts, we can all learn how to combat it at the individual, organizational and policy-making levels to help ensure Canada becomes the best place to age.
He is the Director of Geriatrics at Sinai Health System and the University Health Network in Toronto and a Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto and the Director of Health Policy Research at Toronto Metropolitan University’s National Institute on Ageing.

Call to action Nasreen Soutadeh
A compelling case was made for Mme Nasrin Sotoudeh by Professor Irwin Cotler, chair and founder of the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights, who described her illegal and inhumane imprisonment and ill-treatment in Iran. His presentation was instrumental in the adoption of this initiative by the International Council of Jewish Women.
We urge members of the International Council of Jewish Women, in every affiliate country, to write to the UN Secretary General and to the UN Commissioner for Human Rights, protesting the treatment of Ms. Sotoudeh and urging her immediate release.
