Understanding Monkeypox in Indigenous Communities

On September 29, 2022, Feast Centre for Indigenous STBBI Research held a virtual conversation on monkeypox in Indigenous communities with infectious disease specialists and community leaders from across the country. The speakers will debunk myths about monkeypox, give current information about transmission and discuss how monkeypox is a concern for Indigenous peoples and all of us living in Canada. While it is known that monkeypox disproportionately effects certain communities in Canada – including two-spirit, gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men, trans communities and those involved in sex work – the three panelists will discuss how monkeypox is a concern for all of us living in Canada.
