Activist Campaigner Contraception Gillick Competence Mother 1984
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Roy Illingworth, we are transported back to the 19th of November 1984 in London, where we witness the determined campaigner Victoria Gillick standing outside a court. The image encapsulates the essence of activism and empowerment that defined the 1980s. Victoria Gillick was an influential figure during this era, known for her tireless efforts in advocating for contraception rights and family planning. Her unwavering commitment to these causes made her a prominent voice in society at that time. The photograph not only showcases Gillick's strong presence but also serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for reproductive rights faced by women across generations. It symbolizes the fight against societal barriers and highlights the importance of individual agency when it comes to making choices regarding one's own body and family planning. Furthermore, this image is significant due to its association with "Gillick competence" a legal term derived from Victoria Gillick's case. This concept recognizes young people's ability to make informed decisions about their own healthcare without parental consent or knowledge. Roy Illingworth skillfully captures both the determination on Victoria Gillick's face and the historical significance surrounding her cause. Through his lens, he immortalizes an iconic moment in time that continues to resonate with activists today.
