Humanists have always been at the forefront of campaigns for reproductive rights and access to contraception. Whether risking prosecution for obscenity in the 19th century, or spearheading the World League for Sexual Reform in the 20th, freethinkers have advocated tirelessly over decades for humanist values of reason and compassion to be brought to bear on questions of sex and sexuality.

In this Wikipedia edit-a-thon, we will be highlighting some of the better and lesser-known figures who form such a key part of the history of contraception in the UK – from Alice Vickery to Dora Russell; Charles Bradlaugh to Dorothy Thurtle. Despite this venerable tradition, many of these individuals – and their humanist motivations – are underacknowledged. We want to change that!
