Continue the collective action!

 

While we conclude the September 28 global day of action, may we continue working collectively as a diverse, intergenerational and cross-border community. Today and everyday we stand in abortion solidarity to celebrate gains that have made abortions accessible and safe, and to fight against anti-rights attacks. We enjoin all of you to sustain the message that safe abortion is a human right and to persist in #AbortionSolidarity for bodily autonomy and reproductive justice.

Thank you and may we come together again in future campaigns!

International Safe Abortion Day

September 28 – International Safe Abortion Day is the global day of action to demand access to safe and legal abortions everywhere and for all women, girls, and gender-diverse individuals. It has its origin in Latin America and the Caribbean where women’s groups have been mobilizing around September 28 since the 1990s to demand their governments to decriminalize abortion, to provide access to safe and affordable abortion services and to end stigma and discrimination towards women who choose to have an abortion.

September 28 has been a regional campaign for the decriminalization of abortion in Latin America and the Caribbean for over twenty years before being taken on by SRHR activists all over the world in 2011. The campaign was formerly known as the Global Day of Action for Access to Safe and Legal Abortion.
