style="font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB">The joint 14th
World Congress of Bioethics of the International
Association of Bioethics and 7th National Bioethics
Conference of the Indian Journal of Medical Ethics would
be hosted by Forum for Medical Ethics Society, Sama
Resource Group for Women and Health, St. John's National
Academy of health sciences and Society for Community
Health Awareness, Research and Action (SOCHARA) and will
be held for the first time in India between 5th and 7th

style="font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB">The Congress has
also received tremendous response with more than 500
high quality abstracts received from the global
community. More than 500 abstracts have been received. </span><span

enriching experience with 9 pre-Congress workshops, 158
oral presentations, 51 embedded symposia, 111 posters
and 74 participants in rapid round sessions. </span><span
style="font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB">The presenters are
from more than 52 countries, both LMIC as well as
developed countries. There are early career researchers,
PhD scholars, established academicians, civil society
organizations working with marginalized communities,
groups working with disabled communities and so on very
much in tune with the theme of the Congress- 'Health for
All in an Unequal World: Obligations of Global
Bioethics'. Additionally, the 12<sup>th</sup> Congress
of the Feminist Approaches to Bioethics (FAB) network (<a

being held on 3<sup>rd</sup> and 4<sup>th</sup> December
preceding the WCB.</span></p>

text-align: justify; font-size: 12pt; font-family:
"Times New Roman", serif;"><span
style="font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB">As the theme of
the Congress is also about Health for All and about
inequalities, the attempt is to not restrict Bioethics
to Academia but to widen the purview to include various
marginalized groups and grassroots workers from across
the world who are part of the movement. There are
avenues like the parallel arts festival, document crew
meet-up; interaction with Indian writers of medical
fiction; expressions of creativity through various art
forms like dance around the congress theme, traditional
drums which are part of the culture of the marginalized;
curation of exhibition of paintings around the congress
theme, 'public voices' segment where people from the
margins are given space for speaking and so on. It is
with this objective in mind we are encouraging people
from all spheres and not just academia to participate in
the Congress. More details about the Congress can be had
from the webpage </span><span lang="EN-GB"><a
