We know times are hard for many people & we are so grateful to you all for standing with us, for choosing compassion, & for refusing to abandon the people failed by states and healthcare systems across Europe. Together, we are stronger. Wishing you a happy, healthy and restive holiday season 💚✨

Any change left over from your Christmas drinks? Please feel free to give your local abortion fund 💚

There have been particularly tough days this winter (& year) but from tomorrow as we start to see more of the sun ⛅☀️ may it also bring more light to the incredible pro abortion movement & the dedicated activists who every day strive to ensure everyone who needs an abortion can access one 💚

Across Europe, activists are doing extraordinary work to help people get abortions. S.A.F.E supports these groups with training and guidance. But increasingly what they need most is money to help keep people safe. It's tough out there but any small amount goes a long way this festive season 💚

Everyone deserves to be safe. Whether you're having an abortion, accessing other essential healthcare or simply doing your job, safety should be the absolute minimum. #IDEVASW #AbortionAccess

THIS IS SUPER EXCITING NEWS. Let it be said again and again. We save us 💚 Women Help Women Begins Producing Abortion Pill Combipack. The feminist telehealth provider is cutting out pharmaceutical middlemen to make abortion safer, simpler & more accessible across borders. #WeSaveUs #AbortionAccess

"Meta has removed or restricted dozens of accounts belonging to abortion access providers, queer groups and reproductive health organisations in the past weeks in what campaigners call one of the “biggest waves of censorship” on its platforms in years." #AbortionAccess #AbortionEurope

In 2020, Poland banned abortions for fetal abnormality. Pro Abo Psychological Care was created, the only dedicated support line for people forced to travel for abortions after a severe fetal diagnosis. SAFE has committed €6,000 until end of 2026. Your donation today keeps this lifeline available 💚

Any step away from restrictive abortion laws and access, is an important and positive step forwards. Good news to celebrate today 🥳

At SAFE, during these incredibly tough times, we have drastically reduced our staff costs and rely on volunteers. We can guarantee that any money donated will go directly to facilitating abortion access across Europe. A little goes a long way. Donate today 💚 www.supportingabortions.eu/donate/

Only 6 European countries allow abortion on request after the 1st trimester. That means thousands of people in Europe must travel to the Netherlands when time is running out. Donors like you make it possible for our partners at Abortion Network Amsterdam to help people every day. Donate today 💚

Not only are the techno fascists shadow banning info about abortion, they are giving FREE AD space to the opposition. GOOGLE has been giving free advertising to anti-abortion groups targeting pregnant women in Scotland & across the UK.

Do you really need that dress in your Shein cart or another scented candle? 😉 Why not instead fund an abortion 💚 www.supportingabortions.eu/donate/

S.A.F.E. has felt the impact of the $686 million in global cuts to women’s organisations but we aren’t slowing down. We run almost entirely on volunteer power & our minimal staff costs for 2026 are already covered. Help us fund safe, shame-free abortions for people who have nowhere else to turn 💚

Denial of abortion is a form of gender based violence. SAFE began in 2023 to ensure abortion access for people across Europe abandoned by governments and health systems. Until we live in a world where we are no longer needed, we will continue supporting abortions for everyone 💜💚 #SAFE #EndGBV

When we Say Supporting Abortions for Everyone, we mean everyone. 💚 Solidarity with trans people today, and always. 🏳️‍⚧️ #AbortionAccess

Europe’s anti-gender, anti-rights movement has been growing for years, and the mainstream press is finally noticing. From MAGA to mega — the Heritage Foundation is touring Europe, pushing back on abortion, LGBTQ+ rights, and gender equality. If you can stomach it, read more from Politico here.

Thanks to your support, we can help activists across Europe, like the Abortion Network Amsterdam, make a real difference. Every contribution, big or small, helps people access safe abortions and supports the brave activists on the frontlines. 💚 Donate today - www.supportingabortions.eu/donate/

Last week the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruled that Poland violated abortion rights. While important, past ECHR decisions have been ignored by Poland so people still need help. SAFE, part of the Abortion Without Borders network, helps roughly 130 Polish women access abortions each day.

The chill is in the air but we are hot, hot, hot for bodily autonomy and abortion rights. As the year draws to a close, S.A.F.E. is working up a sweat as we fight for the rights of everyone in Europe who needs an abortion to have one. To know how, enjoy our newsletter with your coffee this morning 💚

For YEARS, SAFE's co-founders have been warning of threats and restrictions to abortion rights in Europe, only to be told that we are exaggerating. Now that Amnesty International is talking about it, will you finally believe us? Help us help grassroot abortion activists. Fund abortions now. 💚

Malta’s recent legal amendment allows abortion in instances where a pregnant woman's life is in immediate danger. A recent debate, outlined by the article below, highlights how divisive the topic of abortion is in Malta, and ultimately its continued impact on women's autonomy, health & wellbeing.

Today might be Halloween but what's scary is the growth of anti abortion legislation coming into effect in Russia. Read more below ⬇️

Promising news from Spain! 🇪🇸 However, "legal" + "constitutional" does not automatically 🟰 access. Regional disparities in access mean people still need to travel far distances for an abortion. 🚙🚌

Abortion Without Borders helps 130 people in Poland have abortions EVERY DAY. Raising €50K by the end of 2025 will help keep their helpline open, and help people have safe abortions. Please make a donation by clicking the link below. Thank you 💚 #save-awb #uratujabg #AbortionAccess #AbortionEurope

"Philanthropy in Europe must wake up. Abortion is not a side issue. It is not someone else’s problem. It is the frontline of the struggle against authoritarianism, misogyny, and the rise of the right. Brave new activism demands brave new funding." Our very own @maraclarke.bsky.social 👏

Even if you knew it was coming, the US sustained attack on reproductive rights aches deeply. Global majority countries & #AbortionWithoutBorders can show the US how incredible networks have been helping people have safe abortions with pills, no matter what those in "power" say. #AbortionPillsForever

Yesterday the European Parliamentary Forum for Sexual & Reproductive Rights launched its Abortion Atlas. Our own Kasia & @maraclarke.bsky.social were part of the advisory team 💚 Access to safe abortion is a matter of health, rights, and equality. Where does your country stand? 🔗 lnkd.in/ey3RsXsJ

Here’s the truth: abortion is not Tinkerbell. It doesn’t need your belief to exist. It happens whether people on the internet “approve” or not. Anti-choice comments don’t hurt our movement. But do you know what does? Money, or rather, the lack of it. Read more about why in this month's newsletter!

Happy 10th Birthday @shoutyourabortion.bsky.social !! As @maraclarke.bsky.social said, thank you for the years of cross border international solidarity 💚 #ShoutYourAbortion #AbortionAccess #AbortionIsHealthCare

When we started SAFE, we hoped to recreate previous successful funding approaches - raising small bits of money from regular donors through social media. However, our struggle to be seen has proven to be the result of coordinated censorship of abortion information on social media. #AbortionAccess
