In the Media

Striving for a world where safe abortion care is accessible for everyone, free from shame and stigma, we are keen to share our work, experience, impact and updates on the media. By doing so, we aim to contribute to the production and dissemination of evidence-based knowledge and a rights-based language on abortion access, and break the abortion stigma.
