In commemoration of the International Safe Abortion Day this September 28, 2022, WGNRR, together with PINSAN and Filipino Freethinkers, will hold discussions and art workshops to showcase the intersection of abortion rights issue with women’s rights and other social rights and justice issues.
Telling Truer Stories is an initiative that collects feminist narratives in various art forms (visual art, poetry, essays, music, film), all to shift from the usual conservative caricatures and stereotypes to the underrepresented diverse realities that women (and their loved ones) live every day. Since its inception in 2018 through the Philippine Safe Abortion Advocacy Network (PINSAN), Telling Truer Stories took the initiative to seek perceptions on abortion by showcasing stories in different art forms, thus an anthology for safe and legal abortion was born.
