<strong>AMSA</strong> SEXUAL &<br />
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH<br />
At <strong>AMSA</strong> Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH), we believe in<br />
all individuals’ right to a safe, healthy and enjoyable sexual<br />
and reproductive health journey which is free from shame,<br />
stigma and violence. Our platform is used to educate,<br />
engage and advocate for sexual and reproductive rights<br />
locally and globally.<br />
<strong>AMSA</strong> CODE GREEN<br />
As medical professionals of the future, we cannot ignore the<br />
devastating impact climate change has on the health of our<br />
patients. Code Green is an Australia-wide platform for<br />
medical students advocating for the mitigation of the causes<br />
of climate change and the adaptation of health care systems<br />
to meet the changing health demands caused by climate<br />
change. We see climate change not as some impending<br />
doom, but as an actionable health-care priority to<br />
meaningfully improve health outcomes for all communities.<br />
<strong>AMSA</strong> HEALTHY COMMUNITIES<br />
Healthy Communities is the newest member of <strong>AMSA</strong> Global<br />
Health Projects. We advocate for the reduction of unhealthy<br />
environments within our communities to prevent noncommunicable<br />
diseases (NCDs). For example, we focus on<br />
surveillance and prevention.<br />
<strong>AMSA</strong> CROSSING BORDERS<br />
We represent a community of medical students fighting for<br />
equality, human rights and proper health care for refugees,<br />
asylum seekers and undocumented migrants worldwide,<br />
particularly those in indefinite or offshore detention within<br />
Australia. The Australian government continues to ignore its<br />
international humanitarian responsibilities by turning away<br />
those in need, denying necessary health care and<br />
compromising the human rights of individuals seeking refuge.<br />
<strong>AMSA</strong> Crossing Borders unites passionate medical students<br />
and encourages them to use their voice to fight for a better<br />
and just future for those who cannot do so themselves.
