Thunder is not yet rain
Every year, millions of women around the world risk their lives to end unintended pregnancies. While a law enacted in 2006 marked great progress toward reproductive freedom in Ethiopia, Not Yet Rain, a short film by Lisa Russell, shows that changing the law is just the first step.
Produced in association with Ipas, an international organization that works around the world to increase women's ability to exercise their sexual and reproductive rights, the film explores abortion in Ethiopia through the voices of women who have faced the challenge of finding safe care.
