Women around the world have sought abortions
throughout history. Yet, abortion continues to be highly
controversial, stigmatized, and often hidden, especially
in countries where it is legally restricted. Where safe
abortion services are not available, women may seek unsafe
abortions, often with grim consequences for them, as well
as their families and their communities.
This presentation package, created by Family Care International
and Ipas, aims to foster understanding of this issue,
enhance public discussion, promote partnerships, and encourage
the provision of safe abortion services to the extent
allowed by law. It is based primarily on the World Health
Organization’s 2003 publication: Safe Abortion:
Technical and Policy Guidance for Health Systems and includes the full text of this publication in five languages.
This presentation package is an advocacy and information
tool that includes everything you need to learn about
unsafe abortion and make presentations on this topic.
The presentation package is offered in English, French Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. The package provides individuals and organizations
advocacy tools that can be used with a range of audiences,
from policy-makers to health care providers, media and to members of the community.
The presentation package is offered in English, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. |
