Safe Abortion Care

At least 23,000 women die from unsafe abortions each year. Globally, deaths due to unsafe abortion account for 8-11% of all maternal deaths—the majority of which occur in developing countries.

Pathfinder partners with communities to overcome the stigma and barriers that result in higher mortality and morbidity for young women from unsafe abortion.
