Abortion laws are different around the world, but one fact remains: a legal right to a safe abortion means little if people can’t access it. In Poland, for example, abortion pills are legal but nearly impossible to get. That’s why activists like Justyna Wydrzyńska volunteer to help. She was taken to court simply for helping someone get legal abortion pills. Her experience shows how essential grassroots activism is in making sure people can access abortion when they need it.
Grassroots feminist movements like women empowerment groups are doing the essential work of making abortion accessible, but we need funding to keep growing, helping more people gain access, and making sure societies and governments take action.
