🔍 Partner-driven reproductive coercion undermines women’s autonomy and access to family planning. PMA Agile’s key recommendations for addressing this challenge include: ✅Community Education: Raise awareness about reproductive rights and the harm of coercion. ✅Healthcare Training: Equip providers to recognize and support survivors with survivor-centered care. ✅Confidential Family Planning Services: Prioritize high-prevalence areas to ensure safe, stigma-free access. 💡 Every woman deserves control over her reproductive health. Strengthening systems to address this issue is essential for gender equality and health justice. #EndGBV #GenderEquity, #SDG5, #PMAAgile #EvidencetoAction Michele Decker, Peter Gichangi, Anaise Williams Mary Thiongo Regina Mwatha Shannon N.

🚨 #Project2025 seeks to control women's reproductive rights by restricting access to essential health tools and creating a nationwide record of abortions. These conservative actions undermine women's autonomy and threaten the progress we've made in women's rights.

“If you look at the data, there’s just broad swaths of people across demographic groups who agree with the need to codify those protections.” - GSG Partner Angela Kuefler    The proposed Equal Rights Amendment in New York would explicitly protect reproductive rights and prohibit discrimination across a wider range of characteristics. According to our team’s research, this critical legislation is supported by a bipartisan majority of New Yorkers — we look forward to seeing its passage come November.

The lack of diversity of thought at the 2024 UN Civil Society Conference is reflected in the overly progressive outcome package asking for mainstreaming of sexual and reproductive rights (a euphemism used to promote abortion as a human right), recognition of “gender diverse people” as a special category worthy of protection, as well the several Critical Theory-inspired talking points such as dismantling entranced patriarchal norms and "speaking truth to power." But it is them, the progressive advocates, who are in fact the prevailing power. At the very least, the political and economic establishments of the world’s richest countries are in strong support of their agendas. Regardless of how the UN might like to advertise this conference and its outcome package, civil society has not in fact “spoken.” The world's civil society is not all woke. A small fraction of it, overrepresented in globalist establishments and very well-funded, is. The effort to make decisions in the name of the “world community” while systematically excluding the conservative side of civil society is a disingenuous attempt to include "civil society leaders" in UN dialogues.
