What We Do
Action that matters
Join the Generation Action to learn about and spread the knowledge of reproductive health. We want to provide accurate and unbiased information about pregnancy.
- Advocate for and educate about reproductive health on Purdue Fort Wayne campus and in the Fort Wayne community; reproductive health topics include but are not limited to: abortion, contraception, STIs, HIV/AIDS, rape culture, safer sex, and sexuality
- Provide accurate and unbiased information about options regarding pregnancy (i.e., abortion, adoption, parenting) and a safe space to explore those options
- Promote an intersectional feminist perspective by recognizing and criticizing the various facets of oppression (e.g., sexism, racism, classism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia) and realizing how they intersect with one another
