Unprotected by Eve Dixon Batchelor

“I’d probably rather you set your room on fire than got pregnant.”

Broken condoms. Constant bleeding. Awkward pharmacists. Extra hormones pumping through you, like there’s not enough already - the side effects of teenage sex are endless.

Unprotected follows one young woman who knows this all too well. A satire on the pressures and issues that come with contraception, it questions why we do everything we’re told, yet still feel ashamed? And how can we protect ourselves, when the only options to do so are shit?
