IN ADDITION OT REPRESENTATIVE AND INITIATIVES GROUPS, WE ALSO HAVE FOUR GLOBAL HEALTH FOCUSED PROJECTS WHICH INCLUDE CODE GREEN, HEALTHY COMMUNITIES, CROSSING BORDERS AND SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH.
CROSSING BORDERS WHAT IS IT? Crossing Borders is a subset of AMSA Global Health, specifically interested in the health outcomes of refugees and people seeking asylum. We stand in solidarity with refugees, people seeking asylum, current detainees and ex detainees in the fight for justice. Crossing Borders facilitates opportunities for medical students to get involved in pre-existing grass root initiatives and community engagement projects. We work with experts to produce educational materials for students, supplementary to medical curricula. We advocate, in line with our policy, for the abolishment of detention centres and equity in health outcomes for refugees and people seeking asylum. 2021 MILESTONES In 2021, Crossing Borders continued our reactive advocacy efforts by writing media releases on potent issues pertaining to refugee health. As a committee we participated in the Palm Sunday Rally through online and in person activities. The online campaign was successful in bringing together students across Australia to stand in solidarity of our friends in detention and demand that they be given a fair go. We also held 3 symposia across the year discussing climate change, policy reform and the forgotten children of detention. 2022 ADVOCACY PRIORITIES Critical assessment of current health, political, corporate structures and bodies; which contribute to indefinite and arbitrary detention, buoyancy of temporary protection and bridging visas and more Standing in solidarity with and increasing visibility of pre-existing, self-determined projects Leverage our voice to advocate for better health standards GET INVOLVED! Join us in our annual symposia and participate in our advocacy efforts by attending the Palm Sunday Rally. AMSA Crossing Borders has satellite committees at most medical universities across Australia - so if you’re passionate about the health outcomes for those seeking asylum and wish to express your solidarity, attend local events and initiatives organised by your university.
