MSI Reproductive Choices Canada is delighted to announce the appointment of Megan Aikens as the inaugural Head of MSI Canada.
Megan will join MSI Canada in the coming months and will lead its next phase of growth and development, including engagement with government, philanthropy, and strategic partners to expand access to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) around the world.
Megan brings extensive experience in global health and rights, strategic partnerships and government relations. Most recently, she served in a senior leadership role at the Canadian Partnership for Women and Children’s Health (CanWaCH), where she helped shape national policy efforts to advance global health, gender equality and SRHR. Her expertise will be invaluable as MSI continues to work with partners to advance SRHR globally.
Julia Anderson, MSI Canada Board of Directors Chair said:
“We are thrilled to welcome Megan to MSI Reproductive Choices Canada. She brings a deep understanding of Canada’s development and global health landscape, along with a strong commitment to gender equality and reproductive choice. She will be instrumental as we strengthen our partnerships and work together to ensure more people can access the healthcare they need.”
On her appointment, Megan said:
“I am incredibly honoured to be joining MSI Reproductive Choices Canada at such a formative stage for the organization. This comes at a defining moment in the global reproductive choice movement, one that calls for ambition, courage and a willingness to bring more people into the conversation. I’m excited by what is possible, and proud to be part of what comes next.
For me, this work is fundamentally about equity, autonomy and choice, and about challenging the barriers that still determine who can access care and who can make decisions about their own body and future. I look forward to working alongside MSI’s dedicated teams and partners to ensure that women and girls everywhere can live healthy, empowered lives.”
We look forward to welcoming Megan to the MSI team and to the impact she will bring to MSI Canada’s next chapter.
