In a world without activists like Fernanda, abortion would still be a crime in Mexico.
Fernanda leads advocacy at Elige, a group dedicated to expanding young people’s access to reproductive education and care. Following a landmark Supreme Court win in September decriminalizing abortion, Fernanda and her fellow feminists are working to make sure that states respect the ruling and federal health services strengthen access to abortion.
But Fernanda’s work is still needed. Youth in Mexico still struggle to have comprehensive, fact-based sexual health education. Reproductive services are often inaccessible in rural communities. And misinformation still leads women to believe they can face penalties for abortion.
Donate now and you can help Fernanda and Elige:
- Run public education campaigns around the right to abortion.
- Advocate with local governments and health providers to expand abortion services, especially beyond big cities.
- Educate young people about their rights to contraception, abortion, and healthy relationships.
Your donation today will be matched to make double the difference for Fernanda and reproductive justice.
