I’m a gender studies student who is passionate about fighting for equality and reproductive rights!

[Reesa @reesa_gsws210]

@gswsrterms Yes! That’s honestly so important and GSWS courses are a perfect way for people to educate themselves! #Rterms

[Reesa @reesa_gsws210]

Ya I agree! Menstrual products can also be so expensive for many, so providing free ones is so awesome and should be done more! #Rterms

[Pravneet @genderstudie]

to all the times that either me or another classmates would get our periods during the middle of the school day and not have anything on us.... then having to ask around to see if anyone had one to lend. proud of BC #rterm

The ignorance around many issues is so prevalent (like SFU’s lifeline group) and taking courses would hopefully help with changing this! #Rterms

[Reesa @reesa_gsws210]

I think everyone should have to take a gender sexuality and women’s studies class at least once in their university career! This type of education is so important in order to create social change which is really needed #Rterms

[Reesa @reesa_gsws210]

Everyone should have control over their own bodies but this is clearly not the reality in today’s society! It’s so important that we continue to fight these injustices! #Rterms

[Reesa @reesa_gsws210]

Reproductive rights are constantly being challenged in our society and this class has really opened my eyes to all the injustices that are occurring today #Rterms

[Reesa @reesa_gsws210]

Criminalization only makes abortion unsafe! We should be creating a safe society for women to be apart of. The bans trying to be put in place in the states need to be stopped. #Rterms

[Planned Parenthood Action @PPact]

Roe v. Wade wasn’t the beginning of abortion in America — rather, it allowed people to access abortion legally and prevented people dying from unsafe, illegal abortions. #StopTheBans #WeWontGoBack

[Reesa @reesa_gsws210]

This is crazy! These are women's rights. Once again a man is trying to take control over women's bodies. All women should have access to birth control regardless of income! #Rterms

[Center for Reproductive Rights @ReproRights]

63% of women in the U.S. say birth control has empowered them to take better care of themselves or their families.

51% say it has allowed them to complete their education. But under Trump's #TitleX changes, many low-income Americans will lose access to affordable birth control.

[Reesa @reesa_gsws210]

@gswsrterms That bill is actually insane! It blows my mind how crazy some people are. We need to stop controlling women’s bodies! You’re so right, it definitely shows it’s an ongoing fight! #Rterms

[Reesa @reesa_gsws210]

This is so true! If pro lifers claim to care so much about children why are they doing nothing for the ones who are alive and suffering!!! #Rterms

[twa80 @twa_80]

Don’t forget about those kids lives!!! #rterms

[Reesa @reesa_gsws210]

How is it possible for the government to have this much control over women’s bodies!! The disparity between men and women’s access to health care and even to their rights as people is outrageous! #Rterms

[Reesa @reesa_gsws210]

Recently read a post on Facebook about a women trying to get her tubes tied because if she got pregnant it was very unsafe for her and the baby. The doctors even saying that she and the baby could die. When she tried to get the procedure she was denied.. #Rterms

[Reesa @reesa_gsws210]

The legal reasons were because she was not old enough, she did not have enough children yet and her husband would have to sign saying he was okay with it! Her husband ended up getting a vasectomy facing no barriers or legal reasons.. #Rterms

[Reesa @reesa_gsws210]

These white cis men who belong to the prolife club at sfu need to sit down and check their privilege. These wrong and awful opinions do not belong at my university! #Rterms #prochoice

[Reesa @reesa_gsws210]

‘Separate body parts from gender’ -@320GSWS this is such an important message! #Rterms

[twa80 @twa_80]

Stop the stigma around abortion! #Rterms

[Reesa @reesa_gsws210]

@RJRRurchoice Ya I completely agree! Education is so important but in our current world we would rather tell girls to cover their shoulders not to distract the male students then actually teaching boys about these serious issues! #Rterms

[Reesa @reesa_gsws210]

I recently heard the quote ‘every 92 second an American is sexually assaulted.’ This is horrifying and heartbreaking! #Rterms

[Reesa @reesa_gsws210]

@RJRRurchoice I think one way is for men who take part in this to actually face consequences. We see so many men who have raped women getting 6 months or less. It’s horrific and just reinforces this awful mentality #Rterms

[Reesa @reesa_gsws210]

@RJRRurchoice Yes I agree, it’s especially hard for younger women and girls! I feel like this mentality has been so ingrained in society that it is going to take a lot to get rid of it. Which is so upsetting #Rterms
