Join our campaign and raise your voice in support of choice
Everyone loves someone who's had an abortion. Yet stigma and judgement persist. High levels of stigma around abortion are creating a culture of silence, meaning women who need safe services often lack essential information on where to access them. Stigma feeds silence, and silence feeds myths. Myths that misinform, mislead and further stigmatise. It’s a vicious and harmful circle that we need to break.
Today, we are calling on our supporters to break that wall of silence by sharing their reasons for being pro-choice across social media. We need you to speak out and take a stand to #SmashAbortionStigma.
Together, we can create an environment where every woman and pregnant person feels safe in their choice, without fear of judgement or discrimination.
