Why the US is burning $10m worth of birth control | Moira Donegan
The article discusses the Trump administration's decision to burn $10 million worth of birth control supplies that were intended for distribution to women in low-income countries, primarily in Africa. This action is seen as a metaphor for the declining status of women's health and dignity in the United States. The article highlights the far-reaching consequences of funding cuts made by the "department of government efficiency," which have been devastating for non-profit organizations working to improve women's health and safety worldwide. The cuts put women at risk of unplanned pregnancies, illegal abortions, and lost opportunities for education, professional development, and economic empowerment. The article portrays the administration's actions as a clear indication that it does not value women's health or dignity.
