Activist Campaigner Contraception Gillick Competence Mother 1984
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Roy Illingworth, we are transported back to the 1980s in London, witnessing a powerful moment of activism and determination. The image features renowned campaigner Victoria Gillick and her husband Gordon Gillick standing outside a court building on the 19th of November, 1984. Victoria Gillick gained prominence as an activist fighting for women's rights in matters of contraception and family planning. Her relentless efforts led to what is now known as "Gillick competence" which grants young people under the age of consent the right to make their own decisions regarding contraception without parental consent. The photograph beautifully encapsulates Victoria's unwavering spirit as she stands alongside her supportive husband, united in their pursuit for change. Their resolute expressions convey both strength and vulnerability, symbolizing the immense courage it takes to challenge societal norms. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the battles fought during that era for reproductive freedom and individual autonomy. It also pays tribute to Victoria Gillick's significant contributions towards empowering mothers and young individuals alike. Roy Illingworth skillfully captures not only a historical moment but also portrays emotions that transcend time. This print is an invaluable piece of visual storytelling that continues to inspire generations with its timeless message: advocating for one's beliefs can lead to transformative change.
