Knowledge Is A Power Play

Taking care of your sexual and reproductive system so you can live your best, healthiest life - from periods and birth control to STD prevention and family planning, it's about having access to the healthcare services and information you need to make those choices for yourself.

The BWHI Opill Access Fund is crucial to ensuring that young women can prioritize their reproductive health in the midst of life challenges associated with access, finances, family life, etc.”
