The violence of reproductive injustice: Reflections on birth control and its medical epistemics
To promote more equitable and inclusive contraceptive counseling, we recommend advancing gender-responsive research, expanding the rights-based and psychosocial counseling offered by different health professionals (and not just physicians), and enhancing gynecology training programs to better prepare gynecologists for contraceptive counseling. Ultimately, these measures aim to transform contraceptive care into a more equitable, informed, and patient-centered practice.
