Ariane Métellus
Ariane K. Métellus is a social entrepreneur, consultant, speaker, birth and perinatal worker. Ariane K is passionate about perinatal, sexual and reproductive health, more specifically obstetrical and gynaecological violence and systemic racism in Quebec’s health care system. She is the Regional Recruitment Coordinator for the province of Quebec and sits on the steering council committee of The RESPCCT Study (Research Examining Stories of Pregnancy and Childbearing in Canada Today) at UBC's Birth Place Lab, on Breast Cancer Action Quebec’s board and on the steering committee of La CORPS féministe.
Her background has led her to examine the importance we give to the experience of marginalized women, particularly black and racialized women in Quebec's health care system, specifically concerning sexual and reproductive health and during the perinatal period.
Through her work, she hopes to raise awareness, inform and support these women, assert their rights to all those who work closely or remotely with them, and participate in the recognition of the various issues that concern them by institutions and the various communities affected by these realities.
Her work is rooted in love!
