Giving out free condoms is the first step on the road to a world where contraceptives are a right for all. Some participants organize for their school to have free condom dispensers because they know that once they’ve handed out their 500 free condoms, people at their school will still need condoms. Want to learn how to take action so your school can put up free condom dispensers? Check out our Resources section for activist toolkits that will walk you through organizing to get free condom dispensers on your campus, and for more information about activism for free contraceptives contact kinjo@advocatesforyouth.org.
