Vera Syrakvash
Advocate and Campaigner
For me, being an ally means having the
chance to amplify both my voice and the
voices of other young people as we advocate
for bodily autonomy, reproductive rights, and
comprehensive sexuality education for all. I
aim to achieve this through the SheDecides
community, whether in global decision-
making arenas, academic work, or grassroots
activism.
How I am working so SheDecides
I currently assist as a teaching assistant at
Southern Illinois University in a course on
reproductive justice. I strive to be involved in
local community efforts to support access to
reproductive health and rights services and
respond to potential legislative changes.
