22.01.2022 NSW had a massive win almost 12 months ago when they finally decriminalised abortion but the fight for equitable abortion access is not over. There's more to do and we want you to be a part of it. Sign up here https://www.oboc.com.au/sign-up/ and follow Our Bodies Our Choices on socials (Facebook @ourbodiesourchoices twitter @OurBodiesChoice, Insta @ourbodieschoices ) to be part of making abortion accessible.

19.01.2022 Do you have a wonderful GP that you trust? That listens to your needs, and provides patient centred care? Have you ever asked them if they provide a comprehensive suite of sexual and reproductive health care services like contraception, medication abortion and sexual health services? Here is a resource that you can take to your GP, to help you have that conversation. https://www.1800myoptions.org.au//asking-your-doctor-to-pr

11.01.2022 A 2019 undercover investigation by BBC News Arabic revealed how domestic workers were being illegally purchased & sold in online slave markets. Technology presents new opportunities but also immense risks to workers. See @16DaysCampaign advocacy guide: https://16dayscampaign.org//OFFICIAL-CWGL-2020-16-DaysCamp

10.01.2022 Lesbian, gay, bi, trans, queer and intersex (LGBTQI) community members live fulfilling and functional lives. However, studies have found LGBTQI+ folk face ongoing discrimination and up to twice as much abuse and/or violence (including physical, mental, sexual or emotional) as heterosexual people. This, on top of social, environmental and psychological factors, increases the risk of mental health issues, which can lead to an increase in both depression and anxiety. This 1.5 ho...ur event starts at 7pm AEST on Tuesday 29th September. A SANE Forums Moderator will co-host this event. https://tinyurl.com/y6g7uurk

03.01.2022 The contraceptive pill for women has been around since the 1960s. An equivalent for men has been in development almost as long. So why isn’t it here yet? Alice Matthews investigates The Case for male contraceptives. https://tinyurl.com/y5k4uywc

03.01.2022 As Jacinta Parsons describes in her new memoir, we need a health care system which recognises the physical body being treated is our home, and is therefore sacred. https://womensagenda.com.au//unseen-jacinta-parsons-on-ch/
