This company called "Feminitees"was started by two women who make t-shirts in hopes to "bring attention to the gender inequalities females deal with everyday."A portion of all proceeds is donated to the National Organization for Women (NOW). #Rterms

On SFU campus there are three locations that offer free condoms, (1) Out on Campus, (2) the Women's Centre as well as (3) Health and Councelling. #noglovenolove #Rterms

I found the readings for this course so imporatnt in oder to challenge the dominant narrative of stigma and shame surroudning women's health and reproductive justice. #Rterms

[Vero @vjustforkicksb]

As I think about my primary school education at catholic school, I don't reacall ever being taught much about seuxal education, gender or healthy relationships. I think this speaks to the gap in the Canadain education system and their lack of inforcment and regulation #Rterms

[Vero @vjustforkicksb]

It is not enough to offer women's health services, accessbility remains a crucial feature that often times remains on the backburner of this conversation #Rterms

[Vero @vjustforkicksb]

Although Canada has made progress in women's health services, accesibility still remains an issue. For regions in the North of Canada, women must travel long ways in order to receive treatment. #Rterms

Women have the right to access safe medical services and this policy change is simply restricting their reproductive justive rights #Rterms

With this policy introduced by President Trump, it wokrs to withhold "money from any facility or program that promotes abortion or refers patients to a caregiver that will provide one." #Rterms

[Vero @vjustforkicksb]

This new policy will not reduce the number of abortions women are going to get but simply increase the number of unsafe abortions which in turn threatens the security of women who seek abortions. #Rterms

[Vero @vjustforkicksb]

Banning abortion will not simply make it go away. We must ensure that women who are in need of such medical services have the choice and accesibility to do so safely. #Rterms

Although North America still faces barriers when it comes to abortion, some parts of the world, abortion is still very much illegal. In Brazil where abortion is still criminalized, roughly half a million illegal abortions happen each year. #Rterms

[Vero @vjustforkicksb]

In areas such as Chile, El Salvador as well as Brazil, it has become impossible to enforce abortion bans as abortion medicine has become readily available. Despaite the availability there are still consequences such as troubles with law enforcment and health services #Rterms

"Period: End of a Sentence"was a great documentary challenging dominant narratives surrouding women's health and reproduction. #Rterms

There is still so much to be done regarding the missing and murdered cases of indigenous women but hopefully this will serve as a step towards getting new helpful information #Rterms

[Vero @vjustforkicksb]

I think the only way to normalize it is through encouraging one another to talk about periods openly and proudly! #Rterms

[Vero @vjustforkicksb]

As I read my classmates anecdote about her period today, it made me incredbily proud to see women who are constantly fighting the taboo of speaking about periods in public. #Rterms

[Vero @vjustforkicksb]

The medical system contains predominantly male physisians which makes it increasingly difficult for women to have their voices heard in the medical arena. Women must then work extremly hard to continuously advocate for themselves and for one another #Rterms

[Vero @vjustforkicksb]

I believe that through learning about my body and my rights to reproduction, it not only keeps me rightly informed but also empowers me as a women! #Rterms

[Vero @vjustforkicksb]

Learning about one's own sexual health is an actual Canadian right and the fact that some Canadian provinces are working to restrict and control what kind of inforamtion they learn is removing them of their right to learn about their own bodies. #Rterms

[Vero @vjustforkicksb]

As stated in the Sex Information and Education Council of Canada, being a youth in Canada means to “have a right to the information, motivation/personal insight, and skills necessary to prevent negative sexual health outcomes and to enhance sexual health.” #Rterms
