International Safe Abortion Day is observed each year on 28 September to raise a voice for the right to safe abortion. It was initiated in Latin America and the Caribbean in 1990 by the Campaña 28 Septiembre. Campaña is the regional network of activist groups, who have been organizing activities in support of safe abortion.
Theme 2020
The theme for International Safe Abortion Day (ISAD), 28 September 2020 is “Self-Managed Abortion”. International Safe Abortion Day 2020 calls on all countries to set aside laws and policies that are restricting access to safe abortion, and allow telemedicine and self-managed abortion in line with World Health Organization guidance.
ISAD call on all States to acknowledge that abortion is essential health care, respect, protect and fulfil women’s reproductive rights, support women’s autonomy over their own lives, and ensure universal access to safe abortion – both during Covid-19 and afterwards.
