In case you didn't know, it's nearly impossible to get an abortion in most of Europe. Therefore, at SAFE, we support the frontline activists helping people access abortion care, that's currently denied to them by broken systems.

Sign up to our newsletter to stay informed, inspired, and involved 💚
Denial of abortion is a form of gender based violence.

SAFE began in 2023 to ensure abortion access for people across Europe abandoned by governments and health systems.

Until we live in a world where we are no longer needed, we will continue supporting abortions for everyone 💜💚

Last week the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruled that Poland violated abortion rights. While important, past ECHR decisions have been ignored by Poland so people still need help. SAFE, part of the Abortion Without Borders network, helps roughly 130 Polish women access abortions each day.

Banning abortion is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes
