The WHO guidance is clear: abortion care is health care, and health is a human right.
Even still, abortion remains a highly stigmatized issue. In order for safe, respectful and affordable abortion care to be accessible to all who need it, when they need it, there is a need for continuous advocacy for the right to comprehensive abortion
care, and against stigma impacting those who seek and provide this health care.
This webinar from WHO and HRP and hosted by the IBP Network, presented photos and positive stories of health as it relates to comprehensive abortion care and post-abortion family planning from countries
in four WHO Regions.
