Speak Up: Our Reproductive Health is Worth Talking About

Health, sex, and family planning can be hard to talk about—but these issues affect us, whether we speak about them or not.

In Latino communities, our silence around sexuality and reproductive decision-making contributes to stigma and amplifies existing barriers to quality health care.

To achieve economic security, our families need more access to health care and education, not less. That's why we're speaking up to ensure that Latinos have access to information and a continuum of quality health care, including sexuality education, birth control, abortion, and maternal care.

We have the power to break through the silence and shame about our bodies, our sexuality, and our health. When we do, we help generations of Latinos – not only ourselves, but our hermanas, hijas, nieces; our fathers, tíos, and abuelos.

Will you take our pledge? Let's break the silence around reproductive health! Our sexuality, our health, and our families are worth talking about.
