From Dublin to Liverpool,
From Belfast to London,
#TwoWomenTravel
From Poland to Germany,
From Malta to Greece,
#TwoWomenTravel
From El Salvador to Mexico City,
From Texas to California,
#TwoWomenTravel
By car,
By bus,
By boat,
By train and
By plane,
#TwoWomenTravel
With a cabin size suitcase,
A change of clothes,
And some Maxi Pads,
#TwoWomenTravel
Because women are denied basic health care in their own country,
Because they are out of options,
Because there is no alternative,
#TwoWomenTravel
Because the Church declares it’s a sin,
Because the State declared it illegal,
Because the Doctors declare their ‘conscientious objection’,
#TwoWomenTravel
Because women are vilified, stigmatised and criminalised,
#TwoWomenTravel
And these are the lucky ones,
The ones with access to
Information,
Money,
Time,
Options,
Freedom,
And a passport,
That make it possible,
#TwoWomenTravel
Some go alone,
Many more order pills,
Some find a ‘back alley’,
Others use a coat hanger or a knitting needle,
Some ‘have accidents’,
And many women die.
Even so, no woman should have to travel.
