Mabel’s Voices

The goal of the Mabel’s Voices Project is to demolish the shame, silence, and stigma that surround sexual and reproductive healthcare, bodily autonomy, and personal identity by building individual and collective power through story sharing. We believe that when we share our experiences we empower ourselves and others in our community. Your story can be anything from your first experience with puberty to a story about sexuality and reproduction, including an abortion, pregnancy, and birth. 

Reproductive and sexual healthcare is a normal and necessary part of our lives. The stories shared through Mabel’s Voices, with consent, will be shared on our blog for others to read. Story sharers may be approached in the future to testify at rallies, bill hearings, or other events that further our goal of ending stigma and spreading truth.

Share your story here.
