The Case for Her’s Post

🙌 Five to follow 🙌 This week we are sharing five films about women’s sexual health that everyone should see. 🎥 Film is a powerful medium for telling stories that might otherwise go unheard. Here are five of those stories that everyone should watch. 🎥 Zurawski v Texas (2024): Amanda Zurawski and the Center for Reproductive Rights sued the state of Texas for clarity in its near-total abortion ban–a suit that eventually gained 22 plaintiffs. This film tells their story and sheds light on the painful consequences of restrictive abortion laws. 🎥 The Dilemma of Desire (2020): This film follows four women working to break down the lies and taboos surrounding women’s sexual pleasure and the patriarchal push to control their bodies. Through these journeys, they seek to empower women to embrace their own desires, fostering a dialogue that promotes understanding and liberation. 🎥 Pandora’s Box: Lifting the Lid on Menstruation (2019): Pandora’s Box addresses the issue of menstrual inequity, highlighting the disparity in access to menstrual products and education that results in millions globally lacking the information and supplies necessary for their menstrual needs. 🎥 Impure (2024): Impure tells the story of a young Kenyan girl who is shamed when she gets her first period during school. The story is inspired by the real-world tragedy of Jackline Chepng’eno, a 14-year-old who took her own life after being humiliated for bleeding on her school uniform. 🎥 Plan C (2024): Plan C Pills an organization in the US that provides access to medically safe, self-managed abortions. This documentary follows the activists and healthcare providers working to expand knowledge of and access to the abortion pill in the US during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic and the fall of Roe v Wade. #FiveToFollow #SRHR #WomensHealth #Storytelling #FilmForChange
