Repro Health Hub

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!

Be sure to visit their website to see if RHTP will be participating in an event near you! 

 With so much positive and progressive work going on around the country, those of us at the Repro Health Hub would like to take a moment out of each week to give the spotlight to some of the awesome organizations that are working hard to promote equality and reproductive health, rights and justice by initiating our Hero of the Week!   Without further ado, our first Hero of the Week is (drumroll please!)… 

The Pro-Choice Public Education Project!   Based out of  New York City, the project is an empowering resource for young women looking to develop their leadership skills and become more active in the promotion of reproductive justice. Just check out their mission statement: 

To educate young women and the organizations that serve them about reproductive health, rights, and justice in order to develop a new generation of leaders. 

Aside from leadership development and effective pro-choice campaigning, the Public Education Project (PEP) also conducts research initiatives in reproductive health. Their latest undertaking (which comes out this spring! We can’t wait!) will focus on African-American,  Latina, and Asian Pacific Islander women and provide a quantitative study on these populations’ perspectives regarding reproductive health, rights, and activism.  Be sure to check out their website for volunteer opportunities near you or to download some of their great campaign material! 

A big cheers and thanks from your friends here at the Repro Health Hub!

We’ll see you next year!!!

Welcome to the official launch of Repro Health Hub. So what exactly does Repro Health Hub seek to achieve, do you ask? 

Reveal the missing links. (No pun intended.) 

You may be all too aware of the fact that while the mainstream media gives much attention to “abortion” as an issue, but very little is being highlighted about the actual work that reproductive health organizations are doing. 

 So we are going to do exactly that. We want to make sure that all work on the local and state levels are being recognized, and Repro Health Hub will make sure that happens. Enjoy!
