Research

All information and guidance on the Women on Web website are based on medical protocols, scientific research and the official recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO).

The outcomes of Women on Web’s support service have contributed to various verified research regarding women’s health around the world. Both our data and research surrounding it confirm that telemedicine is a safe, highly effective and acceptable abortion method for women around the globe. The results of our service are comparable to services in countries where abortion rights and access are not restricted.
