International Safe Abortion Day: Everyone Deserves Access to Safe, Confidential Abortion Care

General

International Safe Abortion Day

Every year on 28 September, International Safe Abortion Day highlights the importance of access to safe abortion care and the right of people to make decisions about their own bodies and futures.

For many people, choosing whether to continue a pregnancy can be a deeply personal decision. Everyone’s circumstances are different, and there is no single experience of abortion.

At NUPAS, we believe that everyone deserves access to safe, confidential and non-judgemental abortion care.

What is International Safe Abortion Day?
International Safe Abortion Day is a global day of awareness that recognises the importance of access to safe abortion services.

It is an opportunity to talk openly about abortion, challenge stigma and highlight the importance of people being able to access accurate information and appropriate healthcare.

For someone considering an abortion, having access to trustworthy information and compassionate healthcare can make a significant difference.

Abortion care should be safe and confidential
If you are considering an abortion, you may have questions about what happens, how the process works, what your options are and what support is available.

It is completely understandable to have questions.

At NUPAS, our aim is to provide clear and accurate information so that you can understand your options and make a decision that is right for you.

Our healthcare professionals are here to listen, answer your questions and support you throughout your care. You should never feel judged for seeking healthcare.

Your decision is personal to you
There are many reasons why someone may decide to have an abortion. Circumstances can be different for everyone.

You may be considering your relationships, family, education, career, finances, health, future plans or simply how you feel about continuing a pregnancy. Whatever your circumstances, your decision is personal.

You may already know what you want, or you may need time and information to understand your options. Both are okay.

Our role is not to tell you what decision to make. Our role is to provide the information and care you need to make an informed choice.

You don’t have to face it alone
It is normal to have concerns about accessing abortion care. You might be worried about confidentiality, what other people will think, what the appointment will involve or whether you will be judged.

At NUPAS, we understand that accessing abortion care can feel daunting. We are here to make the process as straightforward and supportive as possible.

You can ask questions, talk through your options and discuss any concerns with our healthcare professionals. There is no judgement – just care, information and support.

Breaking the stigma around abortion
Abortion is healthcare, but stigma can sometimes make it difficult for people to talk about it openly. International Safe Abortion Day provides an opportunity to have honest, respectful conversations about abortion and the experiences of those who access care.

Talking about abortion in a sensitive and informed way can help people know where to find reliable information and professional support when they need it.

If you or someone you know is considering an abortion, seeking information from a trusted healthcare provider can be an important first step.
