Building an equitable and sustainable world for today and for tomorrow requires upholding human rights. The right to education, economic independence, and reproductive autonomy are some of the building blocks and must-haves for a healthier, more equitable, and flourishing world—issues explored in Crossing the Line.
The numerous and egregious challenges accessing safe abortion in the U.S., particularly for marginalized people, had rarely been documented in a doc-follow podcast format. This series put the listener in an individual’s shoes as they navigated untraveled roads. The identity of those seeking abortions was kept anonymous.
Each episode featured a unique first-person narrative of an individual seeking an abortion or those who worked tirelessly to enable access. Stories began when the subject chose to terminate a pregnancy, sought out help from an abortion fund or support services, or traveled far distances to a clinic for a surgical or medical abortion. Additionally, interviews with leading doctors, activists, and experts illuminated what was at stake as abortion deserts expanded and rights are restricted.
It’s a series you need to hear.
The Crossing the Line podcast was supported by a comprehensive social impact and awareness campaign.
