On #FutureGenerationsDay, we encourage everyone to consider: What decisions being made today will affect people 50 years from now? See our joint statement: www.dohad.ca
Health is shaped before birth, by environment, nutrition, stress, and experience. What we do now leaves biological marks that can carry forward across generations. That’s the science of #DOHaD
Today is #FutureGenerationsDay. @dohadcanada.bsky.social is marking the day alongside LA-DOHaD and @usdohad.bsky.social shared reflection on early life, long-term health, and the decisions that shape generations

Women deserve better.
They need:
- Affordable and safe health services.
- Rights-based options for reproductive health.
