Information is a form of resistance. This March 8, we reaffirm that access to sexual and reproductive health is not a privilege: it's a right. We continue to work for a world where the freedom to make reproductive health choices is unassailable. Autonomy begins with clear, reliable, and accessible information. Our Safe Abortion app offers evidence-based guidance, and is available 24/7 for anyone, anywhere.
