UNFPA Arab States’ Post

Ever since I opened my DMs to women who need support, my mind remains continually blown. I have come across many things, many realities, many methods, and many, many myths and misconceptions.

That is, until you get into what it really is; A punishing, excruciating thing of unnecessary pain. Watch this video, to know more. #Abortion #AbortionMyths #WomensHealth #ReproductiveHealth

Listen up, the logic of criminalizing substances extends well beyond opioids. In 2024, Misoprostol and Mifepristone are controlled substances. In 2024, gender-affirming medications, like HRT, are now controlled substances. In 2024, your vote, more than anything else, will change the future of women, birthing people, children, young men, sex workers, trans folks, and undocumented and indigenous communities alike. Don't know what to do about it? 👉🏽Connect with your local harm reduction organizations and support their work. 👉🏽Call your state rep's and ask how their ensuring access to maternal and reproductive care is being protected and funded? 💸If you have the means, donate to Doula and Midwife collectives!!They are an evidenced-backed intervention to prevent maternal-related deaths in the US! 💸Donate to your state and national abortion funds. 🗳️Vote--DOWN BALLOT--- for elected officials that have a transparent plan for enshrining abortion access and reproductive care. 🗳️Vote--DOWN BALLOT--for elected officials who have made a commitment to protecting gender-affirming care for all ages.

As #November2024 approaches, healthcare for those that carry and bear children is top of mind for most people. While strain and controversy surround procedures like abortion and D&C in some spaces, an irrefutable fact remains that the United States has the highest mortality rates among high-income nations in the world. Even more so, this statistic disproportionately affects Black non-Hispanic people who give birth - a STAGGERING 2.6 times the rates of non-Hispanic white people who give birth. When 36% of the US's counties are "maternity care deserts", one of my greatest passions is expanding accessible, timely healthcare - especially for those that will become pregnant and those recovering from birth.
