37 voices

Join Mabel Wadsworth Center staff and volunteers as we present "37 Voices" at the University of Maine as part of a week-long celebration of Women's History Month. 37 Voices is a collection of women's stories about the decision-making, social stigma and history of abortion in the U.S. We explore reproductive justice through storytelling and discussion, and we invite you to learn more about women's lives and women's stories.

Wednesday, March 24, 2010 from 3:30 to 5:30 PM
Donald P. Corbett Hall, Room 117 at the University of Maine, Orono

condom conversations

Too often women are given conflicting information about sex and their bodies. The truth? It’s up to you to arm yourself with information (and a condom or two). And even though you may not have all the facts straight, you have a voice!

Take charge. With good information and the right attitude, we encourage you to have the condom conversation. Click here to read our condom conversation starters. Or, if you prefer to have a condom conversation brochure (complete with a FREE condom) mailed to you, email us today!
