After years of listening to women & girls, tireless campaigning, and burying too many of our sisters & daughters, we know that these barriers to health care are designed to control rather than protect. Please read and share! 🔗 buff.ly/3DLZa6x #ReproductiveJustice

Women & girls cannot access any other right without being able to make informed, safe choices about their bodies, health and future." - Position statement from Purposeful and Sierra Leonean Feminist Movement Partners.

🔔Radical Rest Alert We see rest as a powerful act of resistance against a capitalist system that teaches us that our intrinsic value lies only in what we can produce. For this, we are unapologetically taking a break. See you on January 6, 2025.

📢Criminalising reproductive rights across Africa is tied to the Continent’s colonial past. 🇸🇱 Sierra Leone's current law on reproductive rights was passed in 1861. THIS HAS TO CHANGE!! Women & girls should never risk death because of restrictive reproductive healthcare laws.
