ASTRA is proud to premiere its new film, ASTRA Network: A United Voice for SRHR in Central and Eastern Europe & Central Asia, a powerful series of interviews with activists, advocates, and changemakers working to defend sexual and reproductive health and rights across Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

The film sheds light on the complex and often difficult realities facing SRHR defenders in the region, including shrinking civic space, stigma, political backlash, barriers to abortion and contraception, gender-based violence, discrimination, and attacks on bodily autonomy.

Through personal testimony and frontline experience, activists and organizations share how these challenges affect people’s lives, and how local movements continue to resist, organize, and push for dignity, justice, and rights.
