Imagine a world free from #AbortionStigma!
Click here to see the virtual mural 2013
#AbortionStigma is one of the main obstacles towards ensuring the availability and accessibility of comprehensive abortion services.
The stigma surrounding abortion shames and silences individuals seeking abortion, individuals who have had an abortion, and healthcare providers in this line of work, thereby serving as a major contributor to unsafe abortions, and subjecting countless persons to grave human rights violations.
Imagine a world free from abortion stigma! What could that look like…
· for people who need abortions?
· for abortion providers?
· for those who support people having abortions?
How might laws and policies governing abortion change?
In honor of September 28th, we invite you to share your words, pictures or short videos to illustrate a world free of abortion stigma.
This project is made in partnership with:
