Advocating for the right to contraception

International Midwifery,  Dec, 2006  

On December 1, World AIDS Day, a 5-metre high copper cross showing a pregnant teenage girl crucified was due to be set up in Copenhagen. The sculpture, called 'In the name of God' is a global outcry, from the controversial Danish sculptor Jens Galschiot. The aim is to advocate for the right to contraception and to truthful and unprejudiced sexual education. Galschiot opposes the view that sexual abstinence until marriage is the only way to avoid HIV infection and unwanted pregnancy. There are plans for the sculpture to be exhibited in Kenya, Italy and the USA.
