I’ve recently completed a short animation about emergency contraception. The animation aims to educate those wayward women who think it’s ok to go to the accident and emergency department (usually reserved for emergencies; like broken bones and cuts!) to obtain the morning after pill. Luckily they let me get away with doing it using some regional rap music!

Comments and critcism welcome.
