Repro Hero of the Week
Over here at the Repro Health Hub we can’t seem to stress enough how powerful and imperative accurate and accessible information about sex and reproductive health is. So this week, we’d like to shine the spotlight on a fantastic organization that has been committed to that cause for 20 years now, The Reproductive Health Technologies Project!
Just check out their awesome mission statement:
The mission of the Reproductive Health Technologies Project (RHTP) is to advance the ability of every woman to achieve full reproductive freedom with access to the safest, most effective, and preferred methods for controlling her fertility and protecting her health.
Based out of Washington D.C., the organization started in 1988 as a group dedicated to public education about RU 486, the “abortion pill”. Since then it has grown to also take on policy development and advocacy of preexisting and developing reproductive health technologies. They have also made great contributions in scientific research on reproductive health, from abortion to contraception and STIs, with many of these studies are available online. The Project’s work is extremely valuable, and that’s why they are the Repro Health Hub’s Hero of the Week!
