End Stolen Choices

End Stolen Choices is a PSA campaign that gives a platform to the Indigenous women who have been affected by forced sterilization and alerts the public that this horrific human rights violation still exists in our society today. The use of the pregnancy stick with a silhouette of a pregnant woman symbolizes the Indigenous women who have undergone this procedure. To bring contrast to the posters and to represent Indigenous communities, the colour orange has also been applied to the stick. In a duo/single format, the posters are designed to be displayed at a variety of locations to increase the campaign's visibility.
