HUMAN REPRODUCTIVE STORIES is a comprehensive database of anonymous true stories about the reproductive system from & for all bodies. It is an inclusive place for all people to help create an archive of stories about reproductive system experiences free of comments, medical advice or advertisements. Everybody was born, so everybody has at least one reproductive story to tell. We have so much to learn from each other. Let’s do this together.

Telling our reproductive stories is an issue of real, physical health and safety, with lack of research resulting in complications and deaths every year. In the U.S. alone, 80% of pregnancy related deaths are preventable, and Black women account for a vastly disproportionate number of those deaths compared to white women. Not to mention forced sterilizations, family separation, and a million other topics in dire need of awareness and action. The disparity in attention paid to women’s reproductive health versus men’s puts the responsibility on women and deprives men of having a whole relationship with their health, their relationships and even their politics. All genders deserve a welcoming space to tell their stories and to learn from one another.
