Organization Works To Provide Reproductive Needs For Indigenous Women

Indigenous Women Rising (IWR) is dedicated to supporting Indigenous people by providing access to safe abortions and other health services amid restrictive laws like SB-8 in Texas. Founded in 2017, IWR initially focused on making breastfeeding easier but expanded to include abortion funds for Indigenous people. The organization educates on political issues like the Hyde Amendment and offers services such as midwifery and sex education. IWR aims to address healthcare barriers and foster community dialogue, regardless of changes to Roe vs Wade.
