Around the world, women’s* power is threatened. In Ukraine, Russian troops use rape as a weapon of war to terrorize and subdue. In Iran, women cut their hair to protest the killing of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who died in police custody after wearing her headscarf too loosely. In the US, women lost their fundamental, federally protected right to abortion. While these global challenges seem insurmountable, we have the power to take action locally in solidarity with women around the world.

Survivors represent a disproportionate number of people who seek abortions and are more likely to experience unplanned pregnancies, infections, and abuse while pregnant. Discrete, quality, comprehensive care is an essential lifeline for victims that can prevent further trauma by giving them back their power and control.

Freedom from violence and oppression, freedom to make decisions about your own clothing without fear of retribution, and freedom of bodily autonomy are essential parts of a stable, healthy, and thriving community.

By donating to Lumina Alliance, you can promote the independence, health, and joy of local survivors right here in your community.
