🖤 Young parents deserve our trust and support, not shame and stigma. Let’s talk about young parent stigma - the idea that those expecting or parenting under the age of 25 are inferior or unworthy of our trust, support and resources. Pregnant and parenting young people are often seen as society’s 'failures,' 'unfit caregivers' and 'bad' influences on other youth - which is simply not true. Young parents are human, and they have the power and autonomy to make decisions about their own reproductive lives and health. 🌟 Supporting young parents is reproductive justice. - - [Digital illustration of a young family, including a mom with long curly hair, a pink sweatshirt, and beige jeans.

On the right is another child who has their hair up back in buns, a purple overall dress, polka dot leggings, and a leg prosthetic. The text reads, ‘young parents deserve support, not shame’] - - - #feminist #feminism #art #socialjustice #singleparents #youngparent #illustration
