What Can I Do To Help?
One, talk to a young man or woman in your family about unprotected sex. Parents and grandparents are the most trusted source when young people need information.
Two, invite the Iowa Initiative or someone from your local women’s healthcare service provider to speak to civic organizations in your community.
Three, tell your legislators that tens of thousands of women in Iowa are without access to birth control services and that Iowa ranks 39th in funding family planning.
Four, ask your school administrator what students are being taught in the school’s Human Growth and Development curriculum.
Five, learn more about long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC).
