"Unsafe abortions are happening, but many people only seek help when complications arise." SAAF grantee partner @familymedicalpoint.bsky.social works with fishing communities in Uganda: observer.ug/news/silent-...

Imagine arguing about the legality and safety of a drug included on the @who.int List of Essential Medicines 🙄 Misprostol and Mifepristone are safe, and save lives all over the world. www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

"Abortions have remained largely accessible and safe, even in ban states, because of the ubiquitous access of pills." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... @moiradonegan.bsky.social

"Nepal’s abortion laws came under global scrutiny as rights advocates called for full decriminalization." On paper, the law is liberal, but in reality, over 50% of abortions are still happening outside the healthcare system. myrepublica.nagariknetwork.com/news/nepals-...

"Unregulated Pregnancy Centers (using moral arguments and scientifically inaccurate information) may have originated in the United States, but they have since spread to countries all over the world." oneill.law.georgetown.edu/an-internati...

Exciting news from the UK (England and Wales)! 🙌 People will no longer be prosecuted for ending their own pregnancies, even outside of a clinical setting.

Really disappointing news coming out of Kenya, where the Court of Appeal has overturned a decision affirming that #abortion care is a fundamental right: peoplesdispatch.org/2026/04/27/k...

New interviews from abortion rights activists who are working to change the law in Liberia 💜 "We understand what African family values look like and we don’t want to be taught it. We figure that it’s colonisation in another form." saafund.org/we-are-campa... #Repro #Abortion

Feminists in Egypt push for those pregnant as a result of rape to have access to legal #abortion: almanassa.com/en/news/31382

“The pro-life stance is easy,” says Ms Rondon. “Nobody asks you for proof of how many creches you built during your term, or how much support you are actually providing infants and mothers.” Well said @gabrielarondon.bsky.social! #Abortion in Brazil: www.economist.com/the-americas...

The US continues to have one of the highest maternal death rates among high-income countries, and the situation is getting worse. Behind this trend is a growing body of research showing that state abortion bans directly contribute to increased maternal mortality.

"The campaign to restrict gender-affirming care follows a well-worn and ultimately successful playbook designed by anti-abortion advocates." @guttmacher.org www.guttmacher.org/article/2026...

The government in Liberia has issued a new policy restricting access to #abortion medication, Misoprostol. This is surely an ideological choice as the drug is safe and the @who.int is clear that abortions can be self-managed using it. www.thenewdawnliberia.com/govt-restric...

"Spain would become the second nation in the world to include the abortion as a right in its constitution. The first was France in 2024." 🙌 www.omnesmag.com/en/news/gove...

People in the Netherlands can now access abortion medication online, without the need for unnecessary clinic visits! 👏 www.dutchnews.nl/2026/03/onli...

"Women no longer have to ‘give reasons’ for why they need to terminate their pregnancies up to 22 weeks, they now have a right to #abortion on request." Amazing achievement for SAAF grantee partner FPA in #Kyrgyzstan saafund.org/abortion-is-... #Repro #Feminist

The good news is that the House of Lords voted to remove criminal sanctions for people ending their own pregnancies in England and Wales. However, #abortion still remains within the criminal law and would not be fully decriminalised with this measure. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

"When you talk about abortion in the Philippines, the discussion is reduced to whether it is legal or moral. People forget that abortion is a health issue... "This is my body, my health, my life, and it's up to me to decide what happens to it." www.bangkokpost.com/world/321778...

So proud of SAAF grantee partner Tamtang for opening their own feminist #abortion clinic to serve people in Thailand! 💜 "It is not only an abortion clinic, but a haven for women and LGBTI people to reclaim power over their bodies." www.bangkokpost.com/life/social-...

"Women in England are still being arrested and facing police investigations over suspected illegal pregnancy terminations." www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

"Across the continent (of Africa), a clear legal shift is underway as reproductive healthcare is increasingly recognized as a constitutional and human right." reproductiverights.org/news/a-defin...

"Luxembourg becomes second country worldwide to enshrine #abortion rights in constitution." 🙌 www.luxtimes.lu/luxembourg/l... #repro

“It is a fundamental freedom to be in control of your body and therefore of reproduction.” Annie Ernaux: ‘Women who died from illegal abortions deserve a monument’: www.nobelprize.org/prizes/liter...

"Saving a life is not a crime. Providing post-abortion care is a legal obligation and a human right." SAAF grantee partner Family Medical Point in Uganda: familymedicalpoint.org/fear-extorti...

In Russia, authorities have openly pressured private clinics to stop performing abortions, toughened & revoked licensing & reclassified drugs used in medical abortion as controlled substances, making them harder to access. From Human Rights Watch, read more below 👇

Last month, #Indonesia brought in a new penal code. However, updated legal provisions on #abortion still do not ensure access. "The new law still treats abortion as a crime, not as healthcare." saafund.org/indonesias-n...

"Public rhetoric centered on the loss of soldiers, declining birth rates, and the need to “revitalize the nation” increasingly casts motherhood as a patriotic duty rather than a personal choice." New post from Armenia: saafund.org/abortion-nat...

More than 1 million citizens. A majority of the European Parliament. And now, civil society across the EU. The message is clear: @ec.europa.eu must act on #MyVoiceMyChoice and propose a voluntary EU-level financial mechanism to support access to safe, legal abortion care. @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu

"Access to abortion is healthcare, not a privilege, and not an expression of the state’s goodwill." Read about #abortion access in Armenia in a new post by SAAF grantee partner Women's Resource Center: saafund.org/abortion-nat...

The World Health Organisation have released a call for submissions of grey literature relating to comprehensive sexual education materials that include abortion care, to map and complete a review. Deadline to submit it Feb 16th 👉 www.who.int/news-room/ar...

BREAKING: The US government is expected to expand the global gag rule later today, blocking funding for organisations that promote diversity, equity and inclusion #DEI and #LGBTQ+ rights – in addition to #abortion. It could affect $30bn in foreign aid. ow.ly/mukO50Y1KMc @cartersherman.bsky.social

"A new analysis of TV & film storylines shows that when reproductive health decisions, particularly abortion, have been shown on screen they’ve often been unrepresentative of people’s lived experiences. New audience data shows that viewers are eager to see more realistic, authentic depictions."

"Socorristas has supported more than 100,000 people across Argentina, each one through a process grounded in care, respect, and autonomy." 💚 New post 'How Socorristas En Red are transforming #abortion care in Argentina': saafund.org/how-socorris... #Repro #Reprosky

"It will essentially prohibit abortion provision in the public sector" MSI's advocacy director spoke to @rachelschraer.bsky.social @the-independent.com about deals the US is making with African countries, which could block them from spending money on public services like abortion. ow.ly/WElz50XZAeW

"Although miscarriage is relatively common, it is stigmatized and often silenced; and queer individuals have an added layer of silencing grounded in heteronormative expectations of reproductive health."

Oscar-Shortlisted Film 'Belén' Exposes the Injustice That Helped Transform Argentina’s Abortion Laws Based on a true story, Belén revisits a miscarriage turned prosecution, and the movement that refused to let it stand. 📰 msmagazine.com/2026/01/13/o...

"Activists are challenging Indonesia's new criminal code, which outlaws sex outside marriage... Sexual relations outside marriage now carry a sentence of up to a year in jail, effectively outlawing same-sex relations." www.manilatimes.net/2026/01/14/w...

Instrumentalising male contraceptives because of anti-abortion politics is bad. Not only does it weaponise contraceptives as a tool to undermine abortion, it is fundamentally anti bodily autonomy. Male contraceptives must *never* be a tool to undermine women + people who can become pregnant 1/

Just two days left to apply! saafund.org/news-and-upd...

#Denmark has agreed to compensate Greenlandic women and girls who were subjected to involuntary birth control between 1966-1991, when thousands were fitted with IUDs without consent. This marks an important step towards justice, recognition and reparations for survivors.

Still a week to apply to support SAAF with our branding refresh! Deadline is 14 January 2026. saafund.org/saaf-is-look...

Uganda: "Unsafe abortions are claiming the lives of our daughters, sisters, and students, not because the law forbids it, but because the law is unclear and society is silent." Well said Moses!

Great to see that the MAREAS fund will be supporting reproductive rights in Latin America and Africa: efeminista.com/mareas-auton...

A report from @amnesty.org shows that #abortion access in Europe remains deeply uneven, with criminalisation, delays, refusals of care and rising anti-rights pressure putting reproductive rights at risk. Governments must act to ensure equal & universal access to essential healthcare.

Calling all designers! 🎨 We are looking for brand designers to support us to refresh the branding for a global abortion fund. Accepting applications (in English but from anywhere in the world) until 14th January 2026. saafund.org/saaf-is-look... #Hiring #Jobs #Design #GraphicDesign #Rebrand
