Issue
Every person deserves the right to decide. Abortion care protects health, dignity, and freedom over our own bodies.
The Green Wave showed what’s possible. Across Latin America, women won historic abortion rights. We carry that fight forward so everyone who can get pregnant has safe, legal care.
We advance abortion access with evidence: safe, legal care saves lives.
We mobilize people and partners to secure legal abortion care and build unstoppable momentum for changes.
We challenge restrictions at every level of power, turning policy change into real access for women and girls.
We confront stigma head-on with evidence-based information. By reframing abortion as essential health care, we reduce risks, save lives, and grow public demand for rights.
We connect women and girls with safe and legal abortion—through hotlines, apps, telemedicine, mobile units, and clinics—so care is always within reach.
In places where abortion is inaccessible, we provide life-saving information that helps women and girls stay safe and know their options.
By expanding who can provide care—midwives, nurses, local health workers—we open more doors for women to get safe, legal abortions.
We track barriers inside health systems and deliver the proof to decision makers so abortion care becomes easier to access and higher in quality.
The Green Wave sparked a movement. We’re carrying it forward—changing laws, expanding care, and turning victories into safe and legal abortions for millions:

unsafe abortions prevented
Ensuring access to a variety of modern contraceptive methods is the key to reducing unintended pregnancies that can lead to unsafe abortions under restrictive settings. By supporting women avoid unintended pregnancies through modern contraception, fewer are put in situations where they might face unsafe abortions. When women do need an abortion, having access to safe, high-quality care means they can avoid unsafe procedures that put their health and lives at risk.
Without access to safe and legal abortion, there is no reproductive autonomy for women and girls. And without reproductive autonomy, we cannot participate as full citizens in society. And without full participation, there is no democracy.Giselle Carino, giving testimony before the Argentinian Senate to promote the abortion law
CEO, Fòs Feminista
What began in Uruguay is now saving lives across Latin America, the Caribbean, and Africa. Fòs Feminista has worked for more than ten years to expand a proven model to reduce the risks of abortion in contexts where abortion remains inaccessible.
Fòs Feminista partner GIWYN runs the Ms. Rosy Hotline, reaching 100,000 people each year with trusted information on contraception, abortion pills, self-managed care, and post-abortion support.
In Colombia, where abortion is legal, Fòs Feminista partners provide women with information, counseling, and medications so they can safely manage abortion in their own homes.
Working with the regional Association of Professional Midwives, we are engaging and training midwives in several countries across Latin America to provide counseling, medications, and support for self-managed abortion.
