After the IUD, 2022

In this project, I was looking at how women were treated dreadfully with their bodies. In history, women were forced to do abortion and place IUD, which hurts their bodies for years with irregular bleeding and long-term infections and diseases. For women with IUD, they also have to suffer the stigma. The sensitivity of breeding and maternity. The divine motherhood. The reason we talk about this is to speak for these women, and their pain, cause their feelings should not be forgot, should not be muted.
