International Safe Abortion Day which was first celebrated as a day of action for the decriminalization of abortion in Latin America and the Caribbean in 1990 on 28th September got its international recognition in 2011 when the Women’s Global Network for Reproductive Rights (WGNRR) declared 28 September as an international day. And ever since women and activists around the world observe this day as a protest for decriminalizing abortion and making safe abortion accessible as the ground reality is that there are several countries around the world where abortion is illegal.
However, this year’s 28 September saw major events, protests, and decisions around the world in support of the legalization of safe abortion services. Out of these events, some of them give us hope and some bring us misery. So we decided to create a list of the most influential activities which took place on this 28th September:
We at Tickle.Life is trying to create a safe space for raising your voice for the decriminalization of safe abortion practices, we invite people to share other resources you think are relevant, and we'll add them to this list so that this list is updated every now and then.
You can either email them to us at social@tickle.life or just let us know in the comments below.
