In Progress

“In light of Paragraph 8.25 of the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development, which states: “…All governments and relevant intergovernmental and non-governmental organisations are urged to strengthen their commitment to women’s health, to deal with the health impact of unsafe abortion as a major public health concern… In circumstances where abortion is not against the law, such abortion should be safe. In all cases, women should have access to quality services for the management of complications arising from abortion…”, consider reviewing laws containing punitive measures against women who have undergone illegal abortions.”
