blogging para opcion

well, apparently today is the official blogging for choice day.
so i'm attempting to take part.

to keep with the lima theme, at work i've been working on a fact sheet about latin american women. its a very broad topic, but included are reproductive health and reproductive rights.


its very scary when one considers that the vast majority of women in the world really don't have much reproductive choice. barriers such as legality, economics, knowledge, availability, and stigma keep so many women in so many places from the true equality and justice they deserve. and the scariest part is that the US, a country slowly chipping away at that justice, has some of the most liberal policies.

oy, its so hard to work for justice in the world.

mucho celos

hasta un largo tiempo
kelsey's in lima now. i'm muy jealous. and not in the "oh i'm so jealous!" excited sort of way, but in a being on the verge of tears after reading her email sort of way. but its also really nice to read her emails and have very vivid pictures of the streets she's riding down, and the mar she's so close to.
and an opportunity to visit! although i think this is what really got me down. as things stand now there is absolutely no way i'll be able to afford a trip. even if i don't pay for much.
but at the same time, what she's doing is so wonderful, and i am really excited for her.
and nlirh is exciting and good and all that stuff. if not lucrative. oy. at least i can drink the water here.
