Feminist Co-Creation for Abortion Justice Fellowship:

Dismantling the Roots of Oppression and Abortion Stigma

Transforming our collective learnings and experiences into shareable tools, technology, and resources to envision new futures for abortion stigma-busting.

At inroads, we know that the creation and sharing of information is never neutral. Patriarchy, capitalism, and colonialism shape the technology we use every day. Yet across the globe, advocates continue to create their own feminist tech, online spaces, learning strategies, and ways of creating and resisting together.

We stand alongside our network in the belief that continuing to organize and learn together is essential, more than ever. We launched this feminist co-creation fellowship with mutual dreams of translating collective insight and experience into network power & stigma-busting tools and resources rooted in mutual care, justice, and access.

Rooted in the feminist principles of autonomous resource generation, mutual learning, and open and free sharing, this fellowship aims to be a communal space for connection building, active mentorship, and accompaniment in creating and assembling pedagogical tools and resources on how abortion stigma, rooted in structures of oppression, is being dismantled across the global inroads network.

The introductory module of inroads’ Reproductive Justice and Intersectionality to Dismantle Abortion Stigma online course is the starting point for this fellowship journey.

Together, we will delve deeper, co-creating learning maps to amplify existing resources and strengthen movement-building across bodies, territories, and histories.
