Tlaleng Mofokeng is a South African doctor and a UN special rapporteur on the right to health. She believes the right to a safe, legal abortion is a human right.

Abortions became legal in South Africa in 1996, yet dangerous, illegal terminations of pregnancy are still taking place. Mofokeng says this is because abortion medication is expensive, too few health workers have been trained in how to perform the procedure and many aren’t prepared to conduct it.
