At DePaul University, a Catholic school in Chicago, students have created a covert contraceptive delivery network called “the womb service.” The group has continued after the university banned their Planned Parenthood Generation Action chapter. Many Catholic universities restrict contraceptive access, citing religious values. Student activists who have stepped in to provide contraception argue they fill gaps in reproductive health care. DePaul prohibits the distribution of any kind of birth control on its campus and says it reserves the right to restrict the distribution of health supplies it “deems to be inappropriate from the perspective of the institution’s mission and values.”

Sixteen states and the District of Columbia are suing the Trump administration over its threats to pull sexual education funding for curricula mentioning diverse gender identities. The lawsuit was filed Friday in federal court in Oregon against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The department wants to prohibit the inclusion of what it describes as “gender ideology” in lessons funded by two federal grant programs. The programs are used to teach about abstinence and contraception. The lawsuit alleges that the grant conditions the department is seeking to impose violate federal law, the separation of powers and Congress' spending power. The department didn't respond to a request for comment.

The leaders of Denmark and Greenland are offering their apologies for their governments' roles in the mistreatment of Greenlandic Indigenous girls and women. The two leaders are attending an official event in Greenland's capital of Nuuk on Wednesday. An independent investigation has found that hundreds of Inuit victims, some as young as 12, were fitted with an intrauterine contraceptive device without consent. The alleged purpose was to limit population growth in Greenland. Many women are still angry, but some say an apology will help them reconcile.

Dozens of women’s rights activists have rallied near the U.S. Embassy in Brussels to protest what plans by President Donald Trump's administration to destroy millions of dollars in family planning supplies meant for women living in hardship in Africa. About 50 joined Thursday's rally, chanting, “Shame, shame, shame, Trump is to blame.” Some held wooden crosses. The birth control stocks — costing more than $9 million and funded by U.S taxpayers — were intended for women in war zones or refugee camps. That's according to two U.S. senators. They are stored in a warehouse in Belgium and include contraceptive pills, implants and IUDs that could spare women the burden of unwanted pregnancies.

More than 350 Greenlandic Indigenous women and girls, including some 12 years old and younger, were forcibly given contraception by Danish health authorities in cases that date back to the 1960s. That's according to an independent report released Tuesday. The Inuit victims, many of them teenagers, were either fitted with intrauterine contraceptive devices, known as IUDs or coils, or given a hormonal birth control injection. They were not told details about the procedure or did not give their consent. The governments of Denmark and Greenland officially apologized last month for their roles in the historic mistreatment in an apparent attempt to get out ahead of the highly anticipated report.

Peru is considering whether to create the long-delayed Yavari Mirim Indigenous Reserve in a remote stretch of the Amazon that would protect five uncontacted tribes from outside encroachment. It would be in the Loreto region near the Brazil border, and is roughly the size of Jamaica. The reserve would safeguard uncontacted tribes vulnerable to disease and exploitation, but faces opposition from logging interests and political resistance. The vote follows decades of delays and comes as Congress debates changes to the Indigenous Peoples in Isolation law that could weaken protections by allowing periodic re-evaluation and possible reduction of reserves.
