Thousands of people around the world joined protests in support of safe abortion
on September 28. In some countries, for example in Colombia, the mobilization
took place after the women's movement secured progress in the field of sexual
and reproductive health rights. Protesters in the United States, on the other
hand, marched in a situation where the right to abortion is under attack. We
bring a snapshot of this year’s International Safe Abortion Day in our photo
gallery.
