Beyond the Green Wave

Written By Guest User

Amid a battle for exceptions to a total abortion ban, Dominican afro-feminists emphasize the need for a cultural decriminalization of abortion, comprehensive sex education, and the inclusion of rural communities in collective efforts towards reproductive access.

This documentary—through interviews with activists, afro-feminists, medical professionals, social researchers and politicians— explores the state of reproductive rights for women in DR, how lack of access to sex education systemically oppresses women and birth-givers, how mainstream feminism excludes women in rural areas, and the cultural climate that threatens women’s safety and bodily autonomy.
