'''Gynopedia''' is an open resource wiki for sexual, reproductive and women's health care across the globe. Our mission is to provide practical, nonjudgmental information so that users can feel empowered and make informed decisions. The basic idea is that you search for a city -- for example, [[New York City]] or [[Seoul]] -- and Gynopedia provides information on birth control, the morning after pill, STI tests and treatment, menstrual products, gynecologists, obstetricians, pregnancy, abortion access, counseling and more in that city. So, let’s say you need a low-cost clinic in New York, or an LGBTQ-friendly gynecologist in Bangkok, or the morning after pill in Lima. Well, Gynopedia is the resource for you. | '''Gynopedia''' is an open resource wiki for sexual, reproductive and women's health care across the globe.

You may search for a city that doesn't have a page yet. If so, no problem! You can create the page yourself; it's super easy and we've provided instructions on our [[Gynopedia Guidelines]] page. Or, if you want some help, I can create the page for you (email me: gynopediawiki@gmail.com). You may also find a city page with very little information up. Please feel free to add information. Currently, there are over 100 city pages that we consider rather robust and information-rich, which we list on the [[Gynopedia Index]]. These pages aren't "complete" -- they're just farther long, information-wise. | You may search for a city that doesn't have a page yet. If so, no problem!
