Sharing our perspectives with each other is an integral part of developing empathy for each other, while ensuring that there is a collective understanding of experiences.
There are many myths and misconceptions about contraception that unfortunately persist due to a lack of open, frank dialogue between partners, loved ones, family, and friends. We utilize surveys to gather and share personal stories about issues related to family planning in an effort to address this while empowering people with a platform to lend their voice to the cause of reproductive autonomy for all.
