📣 Calling Manitobans over 18+ who have accessed or tried to access abortion in the province 📣

Repro Justice Research Manitoba has launched a new project to document the experiences and challenges to abortion access in MB - and they want your input! The project's findings will be used to inform the advancement of abortion care in Manitoba. Take the survey here: https://tinyurl.com/4m9vrnah

From their email:

“Our research is looking for individuals aged 18+ who have sought access to an abortion in Manitoba between 2019-2024. The research involves one 20-minute online survey that can be completed at the participant’s convenience. Participants will have the option to submit their email into a draw for a chance to win swag from Women’s Health Clinic, who is collaborating with us on the project. The identities of the participants will be kept confidential. The survey will be administered on Qualtrics and results will be analyzed by our research team. The results of the research will be used for academic and non-academic publications. All participants will be made aware of publications relating to this project, if they are interested.”

Abortions are happening in Poland whether the government likes it or not. Every day roughly 120 people self-manage their own abortion with pills, and 7 travel to a clinic or hospital in another country. Many get help from Abortion Without Borders, who help people get abortions with pills or by travelling to another country.

"Every person who needs an abortion should have access to abortion without having to go into debt, without shame, and without apologising" - Natalia from Aborcyjny Dream Team
