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 to empower users and help them 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.
How do we get this information? It's all contributions from real people. So, we would love if you can help us out too! You can create an account and 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 (it's super easy). Then you can begin adding information.
Check out the New York City page as an example. You'll see that there are ten categories, including contraception, emergency contraception (the morning after pill), STD tests, gynecological exams, pregnancy, abortion, counseling, and more. The page also covers social/legal issues, costs & insurance options, and any local recommendations from users. So, please feel to contribute with information about your city! Let us know which generic birth control pills made you feel shitty. Let us know which gynecologist was especially awesome. Let us know all the good stuff, please!
To learn more about involvement and our history, check out the About page and our Gynopedia Guidelines.
