THE PRO VOICE PROJECT PRESENTS

Worth of a Woman

"Worth of a Woman" (WoaW) is a traveling exhibit designed to elevate the conversation around reproductive healthcare in Bonner County, Idaho—and beyond—on the one-year anniversary of having lost it. Such care is essential, and we ignore its loss at the peril of individual lives and our community's sustained vitality.

WoaW explores the connections between women’s health and community health, the barriers that stand in the way of women accessing care, how we've been served by such care in the past, how the care system is currently failing us, and our hopes for what lies ahead.

Moreover, WoaW brings a historically difficult conversation into the public sphere to address a real-time problem, destigmatize its discussion, and envision a better future. Collaboratively. Collectively.
