Women on Web’s 15-year Anniversary Social Media Toolkit
Starting May 13th, 2021, Women on Web will launch our 15-year Anniversary social media campaign for 15 consecutive days.
We’d like you to be a part of it!
Who:
Women on Web is a Canada-based telemedicine abortion service committed to providing access to safe medical abortion to those with limited or restricted access. We offer information on reproductive health and contraception and provide online consultations for abortion care. Our services are available in 25 languages and we provide care to almost 200 countries. We are celebrating 15 years of service and wish to share this with your online communities.
When:
From May 13th- 28th, we will be celebrating with a thematic post each day. With the images and corresponding captions provided, we would appreciate if you would share our posts anytime during this period.
Why:
As a Call to Action to learn more about telemedicine abortion services, self-managed abortion, and to donate to our service, we are announcing some new changes to our mandate. These include our role in the fight for digital rights, our research programs, and our advocacy for self-managed abortion as a viable option not only in cases of emergency, but as an option available based on preference as well.
Since the global outbreak of COVID-19, we have seen several countries including France, Ireland, the UK, and the US implement additional measures to expand access to telemedicine abortion during the pandemic. This has seen positive results, including earlier termination times and a more equal access with regard to travel, time off work, and childcare. This marks an important transition for women and pregnant people who struggle with access barriers in regions where abortion is legal and offers an empowering option to manage their abortion themselves. Telemedicine abortion means more privacy and anonymity in areas where stigma is still very prevalent, or those seeking abortion care are in dangerous situations.

Women on Web has always had several doctors and medical professionals on staff who have always put their trust in women and pregnant people's ability to know their own bodies and their own needs.
In 2008, Women on Web as a telemedicine abortion service was covered by the media, “Women risk health by using abortion websites”. Nine years later, the same media covered Women on Web's story with a totally different perspective, “Abortion pills: Everything you need to know.”

Exciting news from our friends at Women on Web! As they celebrate their 15-year anniversary, they have announced new leadership and a new direction for the coming years. Women on Web has been providing women and pregnant individuals with safe, effective medical abortions for 15 years now, and while initially serving those in restricted areas, WoW advocating telemedicine as an option available for preference and empowerment. Since the COVID-19 pandemic struck, countries such as France, Ireland, the UK, and the US have widened their scope to include medical abortions as a means of public safety. Research suggests self-managed abortions have improved wait times and relieved issues of travel, childcare, and work schedules. This is the future of abortion care, and we invite you to celebrate with Women on Web as they inspire new paths of self-managed healthcare. Follow Women on Web at [Insert applicable social media handle] or visit their website to donate to their 15 for 15 campaign! Congratulations, Women on Web! Looking forward to what’s next…
