The 28th of September is the International Day for Free and Safe Abortion, a fundamental part of the right to bodily autonomy and an essential service for sexual and reproductive health. Like every year, the international #Sept28campaign underlines the urgency of asking governments to decriminalize abortion, to provide access to safe and affordable abortion services and to end stigma and discrimination against women who choose to have an abortion.
This year’s theme is solidarity in our communities. In the face of increasingly frequent threats to bodily autonomy and the right to abortion globally, we stand together in #AbortionSolidarity to support and promote these fundamental freedoms and to highlight the collective efforts of our diverse, intergenerational and transnational communities in advancing the right to access to safe abortion and reproductive justice.
