Listen "Reproductive rights: Struggle, resistance & victory"
Episode Synopsis
The fight for sexual and reproductive health and rights is being waged in countries around the world, as people seek to access legal and affordable reproductive health care services, like contraception, sex education, safe pregnancies, and abortions. In this episode, we speak to Justyna Wydrzyńska, from the Polish group Aborcyjny Dream Team (ADT). Justyna is the first pro-choice activist in Europe to have been charged with aiding someone in an abortion.Later, we hear a success story from Argentina’s Green Wave, where activists pushed for the legalisation of abortion and won. Giselle Carino is the CEO of Fòs Feminista and has been a part of this activism for years. You can find CIVICUS online and on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. CIVICUS Voices is hosted by Aarti Narsee and produced by Amal Atrakouti, Elna Schutz, Jamaine Krige, and the CIVICUS team.
