Dear Friend of DKT, Christopher Purdy, head of DKT writes:
I was in Nigeria last week and had the opportunity to see our work firsthand. This included visiting a DKT partner clinic in Kano, where more than 100 women lined up to receive their method of choice, speaking with pharmacy and drug shop owners on how they counsel young women about emergency contraception, and then smiling at the sight of so many boxes of our condoms, injectables, and misoprostol on the shelves of wholesalers around the country. This was just a small look into the work that DKT teams do every day to meet the needs of Nigerian women and men. I loved it! Experiences like these remind me of why I started this work and why I believe so deeply in our mission and objectives.
I invite you to learn more about this mission by reading our newly released comic book! Hand-drawn by the talented Donald Bason, the comic provides a look into our Nigeria program as well as the work we do globally. Here is the link to the comic book!
Reaching the masses despite censorship of safe-abortion information
Across the globe, nonprofits like ours are facing increasing censorship online. In Mexico, our official Prudence condom brand Facebook page, a vital space for sex education, reaching 2.5 million people monthly, was recently shut down without explanation. Our affiliate carafem and partners like Women First Digital (WFD) are also navigating these barriers, which restrict access to accurate, stigma-free information on sexual and reproductive health.
