WISH is delivering long-term change for women, by equipping governments to provide quality healthcare for years to come. The goal is in sight, but only if current funding is protected.
Important conversation with @abigailmusida about safe abortion. Globally, 45% of abortions are unsafe. We must stand together so that everyone has power over their own bodies. In my new role as a #SheDecides Champion I will continue to support a woman’s right to choose.

Analysis from @Guttmacher has found that a 70% cut in UK funding for SRHR would result in an estimated 875,000 unsafe abortions, 2.6 million unintended pregnancies, and 2,740 maternal deaths globally. We cannot step back now; women’s lives depend on it.

Global health journalist @TulipMazumdar recently travelled to Uganda to make a short film for MSI, documenting our programme and the impact of international aid cuts. She met with women using contraception — and heard what’s at stake when that choice is taken away.

ICYMI: Trump quietly signed a pair of anti-abortion executive orders last night. One restricts funding for global health programs. A study on a past version of the policy found it actually *increased* abortions bc so many women lost access to contraception

Those impacted include overseas health organizations that distribute contraception and help combat HIV.
