Welcome to Gynopedia
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 feel empowered and 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!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 get started create an account. Then search for a city and begin contributing. Did you search for a city and not find it? No problem! You can create a city page yourself. If you're unsure how to do this, feel free to email me: gynopediazer@gmail.com.
Check out the New York City page as an exmple. You'll see that there are ten categories, including contraception, emergency contraception (the morning after pill), menstruation, 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. As a contributor, you can add important practical information about these topics, or you can get down the nitty-gritty, letting users known local tips.
Gynopedia is a community and we appreciate your interest! To learn more about our story, please check out our About page. To learn about our rules and guidelines, please check out our Gynopedia Guidelines.
