Author name: Javier Omar Morales Nazario
My pronouns are he and elle. I am an educator, theater practitioner, public health worker, and dad. I am a father of three, a younger brother, an older brother, and an uncle. My areas of work are sexual and reproductive health, with a focus on human rights, eradication of obstetric violence, and promotion of respectful childbirth. Additionally, I facilitate men and fatherhood encounters, I am an abortion doula, and I identify as a "sex-positive" healthcare professional. I have worked as a theater teacher, cultural manager, human rights activist, sexual and reproductive rights activist, and community leader. Since 2013, I have directed the SePARE Program and co-facilitated its Men and Fatherhood Encounters, which are part of Caderamen, Inc., a community-based organization dedicated to self-care in sexual and reproductive health processes. Over the years, I have developed community outreach initiatives, comprehensive services, emergency response, and popular education strategies aimed at defending human rights, especially those of women and children. I hold a Master's degree in Public Health with a specialization in maternal and child health from the Graduate School of Public Health at the University of Puerto Rico, where I was also certified as a Breastfeeding Educator. I am also certified as an abortion doula.
