Activists mark International Safe Abortion Day by replacing misleading abortion ads in Randburg, fighting stigmas and advocating for safe reproductive care.

Various activists came together yesterday and took to the streets in commemoration of the annual International Safe Abortion Day by removing unsafe abortion adverts at Randburg CBD to raise awareness around unsafe abortions and replace them with safe abortion information.

“Including through improved access to safe abortion services – Africa has the highest burden of abortion-related mortality globally due to limited access to safe abortions,” said Phalaetsile. United Nations Special Rapporteur on the right to health, Dr Tlaleng Mofokeng said nonetheless, even in nations where abortion was permitted with certain conditions outlined by the law, there was a high probability that a considerable portion of individuals requiring this service will encounter obstacles.

“In numerous African countries, the inclusion of abortion within primary healthcare, under the umbrella of sexual and reproductive health services, remains limited or non-existent,” she added.
