‘Out of Silence’ Readings at SMSU

A series of readings, “Out of Silence: Abortion Stories from the 1 in 3 Campaign” will be held on Monday, March 4 at 7 p.m. in the Conference Center, lower level, on the campus of Southwest Minnesota State University.

The readings are part of Women’s History Month events at SMSU. The 1 in 3 Campaign is a grassroots movement to start a new conversation about abortion.

It hopes to end the stigma and shame women are made to feel about abortion. By sharing stories, it’s the group’s goal to build a culture of compassion, empathy and support for access to basic health care.

The event will feature live readings of vignettes from actual women and men and is sponsored by the Women’s Studies Committee and SMSU Feminist Club.
