Despite wide international legal support for a woman’s right to access safe and legal abortion, the procedure still remains unsafe and out of reach for many women around the globe. The Center’s publication Making Abortion Safe, Legal and Accessible: A Toolkit for Action is a valuable resource for abortion rights advocates and policymakers who are working to reform abortion laws in restrictive settings.
The toolkit packages together the most compelling arguments for liberalizing laws regulating abortion. It consists of eight briefing papers on abortion, which cover human rights, public health, global laws, adolescents, and religious perspectives.
