IPPF has put together a package of resources for Member Associations and Collaborative Partners on abortion self-care. IPPF understands abortion self-care as the right of women, girls and pregnant people to lead, in part or entirely, their abortion process, with or without support from health providers. The resources here include: FAQs on abortion self-care, example programme interventions, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), an eligibility assessment tool, as well IPPF’s IMAP statement on abortion self-care. These will be periodically updated, but please do contact Nathalie Kapp – Nkapp@ippf.org (IPPF Chief Medical Adviser) if you have any questions on abortion self-care that you have not been able to find the answer to in these resources.
