1 in 3 Campaign

The 1 in 3 Campaign is a grassroots movement created by Advocates of Youth to start a new conversation about abortion. They refer to it as "telling our stories, on our terms." The goal of this project is to end the stigma and shame of abortion. They use storytelling to engage and inspire action and strengthen support for abortion.





The website features videos and written stories of women who have had abortions. Any woman can submit a video or story to share on the website, with the option of sharing anonymous. The website also offers resources for information about abortion and also how to start a 1 in 3 student chapter on college campuses.  There is also a 1 in 3 book available for sale that features the stories of 40 different women.

I found this to be a really cool activism project. What I really liked about this project is that it is more than just statistics. It actually personalizes the problem. By sharing their own personal stories the women show that they actually have valid reasons for getting an abortion and get rid of this view that women who have abortions are just monsters out to kill babies.
