Misinformation threatens not just science, but also fundamental rights & democracy itself. At #DisInfo2025, we discussed how misinformation about abortion is spread & amplified, and how false narratives & regulatory barriers threaten women's access to accurate information about essential healthcare.

Across Europe, 43 of 49 countries now allow abortion on request during early pregnancy. A growing number have reformed laws in the past decade to expand access.

This International #SafeAbortionDay, European leaders have the opportunity to guarantee #abortion as essential healthcare in law, policy & practice. Stronger legal protections are needed to close remaining gaps.

Even in countries where #abortion is legal, access across #Europe remains challenging. Mandatory waiting periods, biased counselling, & high out-of-pocket costs continue to delay or block care. Learn more 👉 https://reproductiverights.org/europe-abortion-laws-2025/

In #Europe, only five countries — Poland, Malta, Andorra, Liechtenstein & Monaco — still enforce highly restrictive #abortion laws. These bans force many to seek care abroad or outside legal pathways.

Health workers play a vital role in delivering comprehensive, quality #abortion care, and must be supported to do so without fear of stigma, punishment or recrimination. @who.int recommends abortion care be provided by a wide range of health professionals, including midwives, nurses and GPs.

📢 Access to #MedicationAbortion saves lives.
It is a safe, effective and WHO-recommended method to end a pregnancy.
#Mifepristone and #Misoprostol—the two medicines for #abortion care—are considered essential medicines by the WHO, and must be accessible to all those who need them in Europe.

#LGBTIQ+ people across Europe continue to face #discrimination in accessing sexual and reproductive health care, driven by non-inclusive health systems and legal barriers. Governments must act now to uphold international commitments and guarantee equal #SRHR for all.
August 5, 2025 at 8:30 AM
#ReproductiveRights are #HumanRights.

Everyone, everywhere, has the right to control their own body, access reproductive healthcare, and live free from discrimination, coercion and violence.

Advancing #SRHR protections across Europe cannot be achieved without the work of #HumanRightsDefenders. Yet many still face considerable challenges & threats. European States must ensure safe environments where they can work freely & without fear.
