On this #ISAD2025, the evidence is clear: denying safe abortion doesn’t end it but only entrenches inequality. The rich can access it in discretion; the poor face complications, stigma, and death. #SRHR policies must be rooted in evidence, dignity, and equity.

Today on #ISAD2025, we share findings from a recent APHRC, Guttmacher & Ministry of Health study: 🇰🇪 had 793K abortions in 2023, 1 in 4 among adolescents. 1 in 6 women faced life-threatening complications, yet only 18% of facilities offer post-abortion care.
