Shifting perspectives. Changing the narrative.
Welcome to gapmuse Perspectives, our series that strives to shift perspectives and change the narrative on important issues that impact women and girls across the globe everyday.
Today we want you to consider what contraception means to us. We hope you will join us in our quest to look at women’s issues through our own lens not those of others.
What does contraception mean?
Freedom
Freedom for women…
Freedom to choose…
Freedom for a woman to choose whether she wants to have children or not…(yes it’s okay for us to choose not to!)
Freedom for a woman to choose when she wants to have children…
Freedom for a woman to choose how many children she wants to have…
Freedom for a woman to choose how she wants to space her children…
Freedom for a woman to choose to have a career and a vision for what she wants it to be…
Freedom for a woman to choose her destiny…
Freedom for a woman to choose her dream and how big she wants it to be…
So when anyone or any institution tries to regulate or deny contraception, remember, they are attempting to take away your freedom, freedom that women didn’t have in the not too distant past…
Choose freedom for yourself, your daughters, your sisters, your nieces, your cousins, your moms, your friends and for every woman today and always…
You are the keeper of your reproductive rights.
Choose freedom.
