Gynopedia is an open resource for sexual, reproductive and women's health care across the globe. Our mission is to provide practical, non-judgmental information so that users can make informed decisions. It’s a wiki, so everyone is invited to contribute, and please, please do! The basic idea is that you search for a city -- for example, New York City -- and Gynopedia provides information based on that location. So, let’s say you want to buy tampons in Seoul, or find an LGBT-friendly gynecologist in Istanbul, or you need the morning after pill in Lima. Well, Gynopedia is the resource for you.
We organize information based on location. So, check out the New York City page as an example. You'll find practical information on contraception, the morning after pill, STD tests, gynecological exams, pregnancy, abortion, counseling, insurance and more. You'll also learn about social/legal issues, costs, and any local recommendations from our users. In total, the pages are divided in ten categories, and we're committed to giving you lots of information.
So, how do we get this information? It's all contributions from real people. So, we would love if you can help us out too! If you feel ready, you can [create an account] to begin contributing. Then, once you’re logged in, search for a location. Let’s say you live in Melbourne and you see that Melbourne doesn’t have a page yet. No problem! You can create the Melbourne page yourself. And then feel free to begin adding information. Let us know which generic birth control pills made you feel shitty. Let us know which gynecologist was especially awesome. Let us know how to ask for yeast infection medication in Hungarian, or UTI treatment in Spanish. Let us know all the good stuff, please!
