It’s time to come together to better support a woman’s right to safe abortion and to remove the barriers that restrict her access. That’s why Marie Stopes International is creating a new, online knowledge hub in collaboration with co-founders PSI*, International Planned Parenthood Federation, Ipas and the Safe Abortion Action Fund. The knowledge hub, called SafeAccess, will share evidence-based guidance on safe abortion and post-abortion care programming with implementers and policymakers enabling the sexual and reproductive health community to work toward an ambitious goal to eliminate unsafe abortion by 2030.
SafeAccess is powering hope that one day—no woman anywhere in the world—will suffer the consequences of unsafe abortion.
*PSI does not use U.S. Government funds for its safe abortion work.
Learn more about the SafeAccess hub from PSI Nigeria’s Dr. Fatima Bunza and other safe abortion experts at “SafeAccess to Abortion: A Cross-Sector Partnership to Eliminate Unsafe Abortion by 2030,” a Women Deliver side event, on Wednesday, June 5 from 6:30-8:00 a.m. in VCC West, Room 214.
