In Canada, youth seeking to access safe and reliable contraceptives face many barriers including cost, confidentiality, inconsistent use, and cultural/religious stigma #EM203Problem#EM203Clarke
For #EM203 we've been asked to receive an expert opinion related to our problem, I am exploring Canadian Youths' Access to Contraceptives:
@SHORECentreWR what is your experience with young ppl and access to contraception? what options does your facility offer to this population?
While our thoughts are with our neighbours, we have to fight those same attitudes in Canada. By standing up for the right to choose and demanding more from the government – like universal access to the abortion pill and contraceptives. (3/5)
@EM203KaleighC Action Canada has come up with a youth friendly certification for sexual and reproductive health service providers, too, because we know it's important for young people to receive stigma-free care: https://t.co/KRN8QTbQ4S
@EM203KaleighC Thanks for asking! Young people can face a lot of barriers, including cost, lack of info on the kinds of contraceptives, and stigma. We have to do better by making sure all young people have access to comprehensive #sexed & calling for #pharmacare that covers everyone.

Reproductive freedom requires access to affordable contraception, and it’s under attack.
If birth control has changed your life, take a moment today to say it out loud. #ThxBirthControl
Access to birth control affects a woman’s ability to continue her education, hold down jobs, and plan for her future. When laws push this reproductive healthcare out of reach, they undermine the economic security that women need to live happy, healthy lives. #ThxBirthControl
Millions of people have used birth control to plan their families, finish their education, and pursue their dreams. Today, we say “Thanks, Birth Control!” for everything birth control makes possible. How has birth control helped you? #ThxBirthControl
