GenerationAction at HamptonU: Advocating for Sexual Health and Reproductive Rights

As one of the many Planned Parenthood Generation Action (PPGA) chapters, GenerationAction at HamptonU (HUGA) and the Plan B Fairies have taken advocacy to the next level. From distributing contraceptives in times of need to lobbying at the Virginia General Assembly, GenAction not only consistently delivers for students, but for people everywhere.

For Sex Week, I had the opportunity to sit down with GenAction’s Executive Board to ask five essential questions that everyone wants answered.

How has GenAction’s presence on campus influenced conversations and attitudes toward sexual health and reproductive rights among students?

“GenAction has created a safe space for students to talk about issues that oftentimes are stigmatized. We all come from different backgrounds and have different levels of knowledge, so we have created space for open dialogue and students to inquire about topics that were too afraid to ask. This includes talking about periods, types of birth control, and even how to put on a condom the correct way.”
