Fòs Feminista joined the Abortion Rights & Justice Conference (ARJC) 2026, one of the largest global gatherings dedicated to advancing abortion rights and access.
Throughout the conference, we contributed to conversations on harm reduction, movement sustainability, and collective action. We participated in the Global Safe Abortion Dialogue, met with partners from Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Argentina, and the Dominican Republic to strengthen ongoing harm reduction work, and convened a session exploring how funding models can either strengthen or undermine feminist movements.
One of the highlights of the week was our session on the harm reduction model, where partners shared how different approaches, from accompaniment networks and hotlines to clinical services and humanitarian responses, are helping expand access to abortion information and care in diverse contexts.
ARJC 2026 also reflected how much our movement has grown. With participants from around 80 countries, stronger representation from Latin America and the Caribbean, and a visible Green Wave presence throughout the conference, the gathering highlighted the power of global solidarity and collective action.
At a time when abortion rights face mounting attacks in many parts of the world, coming together to share strategies, lessons, and hope felt more important than ever. The conversations, ideas, and connections built during ARJC will continue to inform and strengthen our work in the years ahead.
Thank you to all the partners, advocates, health workers, funders, and movement leaders who made this space possible.
