As a companion to Mona Eltahawy’s powerful message to break the silence that surrounds abortion, we asked Mona for her recommendations of films, books, and art works that help to dismantle the shame around abortion and normalise conversations surrounding this choice. From Paula Rego’s Abortion Pastels series to the anthology of essays, poems and stories: ‘Choice Words: Writers on Abortion’, we hope these stories and narratives, along with Mona's powerful words, help to continue the discussions we all need to be having now more than ever.
