Overview
Advocates for Youth promotes programs and policies that help young people around the world make informed decisions about their reproductive and sexual health. This grant would support the 1 in 3 Campaign, a nationwide effort to increase the visibility of abortion experiences through storytelling. This is done by gathering and disseminating women’s stories, doing events like the online national abortion speak-out, and a play that will tour nationally. Advocates for Youth’s long-term goal with the Campaign is to see abortion through personal experiences, and to increase public and political support for abortion rights.
