Last May, the Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue and the FNQLHSSC, in collaboration with several partners gathered within a regional committee, call on everyone to participate in research on free and informed consent and imposed sterilization, including obstetric violence, among First Nations and Inuit women in Quebec.

In order to allow as many people as possible to share their experience, the research, which was originally scheduled to end on October 31, is being extended until December 31.
