Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) have to navigate many elements to remain safe and one is ensuring they are able to protect their Reproductive Health and take steps against Reproductive Coercion (i.e. coerced reproduction, reproductive control, or reproductive abuse).  Reproductive coercion and IPV are strongly correlated, and we understand reproductive coercion to be a serious public health issue. As an advocate who supports survivors of IPV it is important you area able to understand the coercive behaviors which infringe on survivor’s reproductive rights and reduce their reproductive autonomy, particularly in this current landscape where access to abortion services is more and more restricted.

 

In 2011, the US Centers for Disease Control Prevention conducted a survey on domestic violence to learn more about survivor’s reproductive health, specifically pregnancy pressure and birth control sabotage.  The study found:

·         Approximately 8.6% (or an estimated 10.3 million) of women in the United States reported ever having an intimate partner who tried to get them pregnant when they did not want to, or refused to use a condom, with 4.8% having had an intimate partner who tried to get them pregnant when they did not want to, and 6.7% having had an intimate partner who refused to wear a condom;

 

Also in recent years, and particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, you may have noticed an uptick in news stories about self-managed abortion care. You may have even worked with survivors who self-managed their own abortion outside of a clinic with pills, herbs, or other methods.

To help us on this learning journey Provide and If/When/How are excited to announce an upcoming training on September 22nd from 12pm-2pm, on Self-Managed Abortion, IPV, and the Law. This training has been specifically designed for those of you who provide direct services to domestic, sexual, and intimate partner violence survivors in Georgia
  
This 2 hour training will address questions you may have about the intersection of self-managed abortion care with the work you do. We hope that participants will come away from the training with:

• a clarification of their values around self-managed abortion, 
• new vocabulary to help guide understanding of self-managed abortion as it intersects with domestic violence and sexual assault survivors, and 
• how to navigate mandatory reporting requirements without putting survivors at undue risk of law enforcement involvement.
