VITAL: Voices to Inspire Transnational Abortion Liberation

VITAL: Voices to Inspire Transnational Abortion Liberation. VITAL seeks to co-create knowledge alongside abortion rights activists and advocates to inform and bolster the abortion rights movements in the Americas. Abortion rights activists and proponents wherever they may be physically located share common cause – to liberate abortion rights and create the conditions in which all people can thrive.

Our process aims to foster cross-regional and cross-context learnings for practical application. Data collection is underway to gain insights from activists, academics, legal experts, artivists and people in adjacent movements to understand factors that have contributed to changes in abortion rights policy and the impact of these changes. We will explore whether and how effective tactics and strategies developed in one cultural, political and geographic context can be adapted and applied elsewhere. Iterative and relational, our research approach will build our understanding by sharing back initial research findings with the abortion rights community to surface new ideas and co-create new approaches to advance rights throughout both regions and beyond.
