Providing inaccurate information about abortion pills puts women at risk

PROJECT: Training clandestine abortion pill vendors

IMPACT: We are ensuring that every women who receives abortion pills from a clandestine vendor knows how to take the medication safely and correctly. Over the next 10 years, 30,000 women who receive abortion pills from clandestine vendors will have the information to take the pills safely and avoid prosecution.

Local sexual and reproductive health advocates often risk their own lives to help women

PROJECT: Providing Safety and Accompaniment Training for Sexual and Reproductive Health Advocates 

IMPACT: Ensuring that the volunteers who accompany women to obtain reproductive health services have the knowledge and tools to keep themselves and the women they are supporting safe.
