Bloom-Ed is deeply saddened by the news of Roe vs Wade being overturned and the ripple effect this may have both in the US and worldwide, setting reproductive and sexual rights back about 50 years.

Bloom-Ed is primarily an advocate for the provision of Comprehensive Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE), we also support reproductive justice and critically the right to bodily autonomy for all.

Importantly, comprehensive RSE allows young people to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to navigate safer sex and prevent pregnancies. Great RSE should also include discussions around abortion so that young people can make informed choices and are aware of their sexual and reproductive rights.

Support everyone's right to bodily autonomy and decision over what happens with their body. Now and always.

If you are feeling as lost, sad, enraged, angry and confused as we are, you are not alone. Here are some actions we can take in Australia:
