Group set To Oppose Abortion Stigma

 

A group, Generation Initiative For Women And Youth Network (GIWYN) says it is partnering with  other allies such as Women Global Network For Reproductive Rights (WGNRR) and other organizations across the globe to evolve a positive approach to debunk "false statements about abortion and replace them with realities of prove research and individual experiences of abortion".


In a statement by WGNRR, it said the backlash from recent planned parenthood attacks and events worldwide sourrounding abortion related stigma such as silence, fear, shame, are all elements that the anti choice movement is ongoing.

It said it has conceptualised " Bust The Myth" to properly convey the goal of framing abortion  in a  different perspective and lens.

"Part of breaking the stigma is removing these ideologically charged and socially constructed beliefs that permeate all levels of society and reinforce stigma.

Tagged September 28  2015 campaign, the group said it will partner other organizations around the world working on Reproductive and sexual health rights to " tackle all these messages that the society is being constantly bombarded with"

" The point is not just to react defensively to these messages but to build a reality based argument against them focusing on the positive experinces and realities derived from abortion.
