Episode 35 - Beyond Access: Reclaiming Contraceptive Choice and Autonomy

In this episode of #WhatGirlsWant: A Podcast by the ATHENA Network, we explore the realities of access to contraceptives, a key part of sexual and reproductive health and rights that too often remains out of reach for many girls, young women, and gender-diverse people.Our guest, Warona George, is a passionate advocate for bodily autonomy and youth-led access to health services. Together, we unpack what contraceptive access really looks like on the ground, from navigating stigma and misinformation, to pushing for policies that respect choice and dignity.Warona shares powerful reflections on why contraception is more than just a health issue — it’s about agency, justice, and freedom. This conversation dives deep into how feminist movements are fighting to ensure that everyone, everywhere, has the right and ability to make informed decisions about their own bodies.Tune in for an honest, empowering discussion about choice, access, and the future of SRHR.
