The vending machine is also stocked with other items, including aspirin, tampons and other assorted items.
In the wake of last year’s Supreme Court ruling overturning abortion rights nationwide, students at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., pushed the university to do something in response.
But Christian Zidouemba, president of George Washington’s Student Association, sought a solution. Rather than join in calls for Thomas’ removal, Zidouemba wanted to make access to emergency contraception easier on campus. Working with fellow students Aiza Saeed and Neharika Rao, Zidouemba got the university to install a vending machine that is stocked with a number of health products, including emergency contraception, which is sometimes known as the “plan B pill.” The pills are intended to prevent unwanted pregnancies.“I researched some of the best ways to advocate for students, what are some of the ways that I can shape some of the communities I care about,” Zidouemba said.
