In Rwanda, unsafe abortion complications ranked the 5th cause of maternal hospitalization and mortality.
It's International #SafeAbortionDay! 💜

MDFC believes that no woman should face barriers, stigma, or fear when seeking care, which results in maternal deaths or complications.

@safeabortion.bsky.social , @amplifychange.org , @unfpa.org , @ipasasr.bsky.social

Use of contraception is a shared responsibility. Discussing options is part of a balanced and healthy relationship.

On this #WorldContraceptionDay, MDFC stands in solidarity with the global call for A choice for all – agency, intention, access.

Amazing news! 🤩

"The parliament in Rwanda has lowered the legal age for accessing reproductive health care from 18 to 15 years old.

This means that young people from 15 onwards will no longer require parental consent to get contraception from a medical facility."

Healey just signed a law expanding reproductive and transgender care. Here's what to know. Healey called it “the strongest law in America that will protect reproductive health care, gender-affirming care, and those who provide it.”

Good news: #Massachusetts has enacted stronger protections for reproductive and trans health care.

We need more states to take action that protects reproductive freedom and bodily autonomy for all. 👏

Trump’s budget bill is going to have disastrous effects on the country’s most vulnerable communities, including people living in rural areas.

Some pregnant people may need to drive HUNDREDS of miles for necessary health care services—and that’s if they can afford to travel.

Day 1 challenged us to examine the privileges & power held by different genders in our society.

The conversations went deep into the root causes of inequality, reminding us that gender balance is more than a policy; it’s a daily practice we must live out in our organizations.
