Hello
Friend,
Did you know nearly 60% of people who
have experienced severe abuse in intimate relationships experienced it
for the first time under the age of 25? This issue is a young person
issue, yet too often we are left out of the conversation. Those who
experience intimate partner or domestic violence often experience
reproductive control, birth control sabotage, and/or sexual assault,
all of which can lead to unintended pregnancy. We cannot achieve
reproductive justice unless we all can live in safe and sustainable
communities free from both state and interpersonal violence.
Join us from October 19th at our
19th-23rd on social media using the hashtags #IPVIsAnRJIssue
#DVIsAnRJIssue and IPVIsNotJustACissue as we shed light on domestic
and intimate partner violence as a reproductive justice issue and take the pledge to support
survivors! 💜💜💜
In Solidarity,
Monica Edwards, she/her
Federal Policy Manager
URGE: Unite for Reproductive &
Gender Equity
