L’organisation MARIJÀN à travers sa politique pro-avortement se joint à l’Initiative pour les droits sexuels (SRI), l’Association for Women’s Rights in Development, CHOICE for Youth and Sexuality, la Fédération internationale pour le planning familial, Ipas, le International Service for Human Rights, la Youth Coalition for Sexual and Reproductive Rights, l’Asian-Pacific Resource and Research Centre for Women (ARROW), et MSI Reproductive Choices, dans leur décision de développer une déclaration conjointe sur le droit à l’avortement qui sera présentée lors de la 57ème session du Conseil des droits humains (CDH) de l’ONU, à Genève. Cette déclaration appelle à “un modèle de développement féministe et intersectionnel qui fasse entendre la voix des femmes, des filles et des personnes de genre divers dans la détermination des indicateurs de mesure du développement mondial. La justice reproductive et l'autonomie corporelle pour tous·tes sont essentielles à un tel modèle de développement ; la capacité des personnes marginalisées à exercer un contrôle sur leur vie reproductive leur permet de participer pleinement à la vie sociale, culturelle et politique. L'accès universel à un avortement sûr et légal est fondamental à cet égard”. MARIJÀN soutient fermement l’idée selon laquelle l’avortement doit être accessible à toutes les femmes ; ces dernières doivent être libres de procéder à cette opération si elles le souhaitent ; Le service d’avortement doit être fourni légalement et gratuitement. Voilà pourquoi nous avons jugé bon de signer cette déclaration et nous vous invitons tous, particuliers et organisations à apposer vous aussi votre signature sous cette déclaration qui revêt d’une importance capitale.

Abortion remains a highly stigmatized issue, silencing countless women and denying them access to essential healthcare. Through this tourment, we aim to challenge these harmful stigmas by sparking conversations, spreading awareness, and standing in solidarity with women reclaiming their bodily autonomy. No more shame! This is a call to normalize the conversation around abortion, fight against shame, and ensure women everywhere have the right to make decisions about their bodies, free from stigma and judgment. Join us in this movement as we walk, run, and play to demand a world where reproductive health rights are celebrated, not condemned. 🙌🏾 #KickAbortionStigmaOut #InternationalSafeAbortionDay #ReproductiveJustice #MyBodyMyChoice #EndAbortionStigma

Want to congratulate my sister Kat Keeney Jaeger and her team for winning a Salute to Excellence Award from National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) for her work highlighting the treatment that black mothers have to endure in childbirth. The US has the horrifying distinction as the only industrialized nation in the world where maternal mortality is rising. Infant and maternal mortality among Blacks and Latino’s are more than twice the national average (Forbes) Twice!!! Let’s please continue to get loud about this issue. So many are doing great work in this area National Birth Equity Collaborative Every Mother Counts @sista midwives Black Mamas Matter Alliance, Inc.
