Launch of SRHM’s poetry collection on sexual and reproductive justice

11 December, 2021

 

Following our recent call for poetry, we launched a poetry collection with sexual and reproductive health experts, professionals, and activists who are also poets. The panel talked about how poetry can be a powerful means of expression and can serve as a bridge between personal experiences and political activism and advocacy for the advancement of sexual and reproductive justice.
