September 28, the Day of Action for Access to Safe and Legal Abortion originated in Latin America and the Caribbean, where various local women’s organizations have campaigned for the past two decades to demand that local governments should decriminalize abortion, ensure access to safe, affordable abortion services, and eliminate stigma and discrimination against women who choose to terminate pregnancies.<\/p>\n
The original name of the campaign in Latin America and the Caribbean was “September 28 – Campaign for the Decriminalization of Abortion”, (“Campa\u00f1a 28 de Septiembre por la Despenalizaci\u00f3n del Aborto”), which continues today, gaining strength and commitment from women’s rights activists in the region. The date – 28 September – was chosen to commemorate the abolition of slavery in Brazil and is now remembered as a “free uterus” day, a day on which activists highlight the need to ensure safe and legal abortions for all women.<\/p>\n
In 2011, the Women’s Global Network for Reproductive Rights (WGNRR)<\/a> made September 28 a global awareness day in solidarity with the women’s movement in Latin America and in recognition of the fact that access to safe and legal abortion is still denied to too many women in too many countries. In most African countries, abortion is either banned outright or allowed only to save the life of the mother. Abortion is legal in some Asian countries, but remains highly restricted in most, and even when it is legal, women face high costs and lack of access to adequate abortion services. A number of European countries and, increasingly, the US are under vehement attack from opposition parties seeking to limit women’s reproductive freedom by imposing legal and financial restrictions, increasing stigma and discrimination and further impeding access to abortion. All of the above factors are serious obstacles to women’s full enjoyment of their human rights.<\/p>\n Sub-theme: Young People\u2019s Leadership in Abortion Justice<\/strong><\/p>\n This year, 2023, this Global Campaign highlights in particular how young people are an unstoppable force, taking the leadership of the movement.

Young people bring fresh perspectives, creative ideas and a strong desire for change. Their active engagement and valuable contributions are indispensable to making progress towards our common goal.
