Parent Organization: Political
VOX at UMass is a chapter of an international organization allied with Planned Parenthood that exists to educate the university community about reproductive health and rights, to translate increased awareness into pro-choice activism on campus and to serve as a coalition partner to state, national and international reproductive rights efforts.In such a liberal state as Massachusetts, the right to and availability of women's reproductive control is taken for granted, given it's wide acceptance. Taking this into account the UMass chapter of VOX seeks to raise awareness of the danger and affects of illegal abortion as well as raise awareness of the various other options concerning reproductive rights, particularly that of using safer sex practices. VOX is very femme-positive, sex-positive group, seeking to open the dialogue around sex and thus open people's minds and awareness of safer, healthier sex.
