In this episode, we head to the Dominican Republic, which shares an island with Haiti in the Caribbean. We highlight the movement for Las Tres Causales, or The Three Exceptions, hearing different perspectives from activists and organizers about why these exceptions are not enough, but are an important first step in a longer fight. With a focus on intersectionality, we explore how abortion access and decriminalization is interwoven with the freedoms of many varying communities. We meet Cristina Francisco, founder of the Circle of Women with Disabilities (CIMUDIS), who talks about how she advocates for women with disabilities to have the right to choose. Estefanny Molina shares the story of Esperancita, whose mother Rosa Hernandez sparked a movement with WomenLink. We speak with NY Assemblywoman Amanda Septimo, a Dominicana who has been part of U.S.-based protests forcing DR President Luis Abinader to reform the penal code. And we learn how anti-racism and anti-Blackness is a much-needed component of the fight in order to advocate for Afro-Latina and Haitian women, from El Comité de América Latina Y El Caribe Para La Defensa De Los Derechos De Las Mujeres (CLADEM).
