In the middle, three people sit together in solidarity: one wearing a rainbow shirt, another in a hijab, and one draped in a green scarf, with tea and snacks on the table.

On 28 September, International Safe Abortion Day, we unite in #AbortionSolidarity. Across Asia Pacific and the world, we come together to demand safe, legal, stigma-free, and accessible abortion for all. 

Abortion is essential, life-saving healthcare. It is a fundamental human right, a cornerstone of gender equality, and a critical component in achieving reproductive justice and sustainable development. However, we face a coordinated backlash against abortion rights, LGBTQI rights, and feminist movements. These attacks are transnational, well-funded, and deliberately designed to roll back decades of progress through fear-mongering, disinformation, censorship, and withdrawal of resources

In collabroation with the Asia Safe Abortion Partnership (ASAP) we have developed a Safe Abortion Day Social Media Toolkit. The toolkit includes ready-to-use posts, captions, illustrations, and templates that you can adapt for your own channels and communities.

 

Why this matters:

Safe abortion is essential healthcare, a human right, and a cornerstone of gender equality and justice. Yet many still face criminalisation, stigma, and barriers to access, especially young people, queer and trans communities, Indigenous peoples, people with disabilities, sex workers, migrants, and those living in poverty or crisis.

How to use the toolkit:

1. Choose a template and customise it with your logo, text, or visual.

2. Share posts on your platforms before and on 28 September

3. Amplify stories and voices from your country or community

 

By using this toolkit, you join a collective call to decriminalise abortion, expand access, protect providers and defenders, and invest in inclusive, rights-based healthcare systems.

Healthcare.” The group includes people of different genders, ethnicities, and identities, including a woman in a hijab with a megaphone, a person with a green face covering, a healthcare worker in scrubs and a mask, and others wearing purple and pink clothing.
