💚 Today we invite you to read The Evidence, a newsletter by Josephine Lethbridge sponsored by Sage. This issue explores the importance of continuing the fight for reproductive rights everywhere. 🇺🇸 In the wake of the fall of Roe v Wade, more people are attempting to carry out abortions themselves. Researchers surveyed 7016 people in 2021-2022 and 7148 in 2023, and found that roughly 7% of reproductive-aged women in the US have attempted to induce their own abortion, up from 5% before the fall of Roe. ❗Self-managed abortions are safe and effective under the right conditions. But the research found that a majority of people surveyed tried to end their pregnancies using potentially unsafe methods. 👉 Around the world, where abortion access and rights vary widely, 61% of unwanted pregnancies – and 29% of all pregnancies – end in abortion. That’s about 73 million abortions a year. Global estimates indicate that 45% of these are unsafe. Find The Evidence 🔗 https://lnkd.in/diitWPZM

Our partnership with World of Books Group was recently highlighted on the radio. Learn how Sage and World of Books are working together to reduce waste 👇 We teamed up with World of Books on a pilot project to tackle waste from overstocks and returns. This collaboration returns books to the market that might otherwise have been pulped, eliminating future returns by selling directly to end users. Discover more about World of Books and Sage’s pilot project partnership in our latest Independence with Impact report: https://lnkd.in/djseeTZB
🎙️We were on the radio!🎙️ Our very own Sarah Walden spoke to BBC Radio 4 about the rise of secondhand books! Here are the highlights in case you missed it: 📚 How we're sourcing secondhand books: we buy books directly from customers, and in bulk from charities to give preloved books a new life 💕 📚 Our work with the publishing industry: we've recently started working with companies such as the Independent Publishers Guild and Macmillan Distribution to explore how we can sell publishers' end of life stock and get more books out of waste ♻ 📚 Why people are choosing secondhand: preloved books are affordable, accessible, sustainable and customers like that the books they're reading have a life of their own 💚 📚 Supporting authors: we pay authors royalties on the sale of preloved books in partnership with The Society of Authors. So far, we've paid out over £177k to authors since the scheme began 📖 📚Finally, if you're looking for your next read then check out Sarah's recommendations - Life Impossible by Matt Haig (released in a couple of weeks!), and Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness ✨🧙♀️ Find the interview here (we're on at 27:13): https://lnkd.in/e9ncVd9h #secondhandbooks #bookindustry #publishingindustry #charitysector #radiointerview
