Access to safe, comprehensive reproductive health services, including safe abortion-related care, is a critical development issue. Millennium Development Goal 5—reducing maternal mortality by 75 percent and improving maternal health—can only be achieved if unsafe abortion is effectively addressed. This publication looks at the issue of unsafe abortion, progress toward addressing it since the ICPD Programme of Action and the actions required to prevent deaths from unsafe abortion.
