Abortion quality of care from the client perspective: qualitative study in India and Kenya

Abortion is a common and essential component of sexual and reproductive health care, yet social norms and stigma influence women’s decision-making and create barriers to safe abortion care. There is limited consensus on what domains constitute quality in abortion care and the opinions of people seeking abortion have little representation in current abortion quality measures. With an aim to assess the experiences of women on abortion care and reflects on the priorities for high-quality abortion care, a collaborative qualitative research was conducted in India & Kenya by IPPF in collaboration with IBIS.   Full article published in Health Policy and Planning Journal can be accessed: https://academic.oup.com/heapol/advance-article/doi/10.1093/heapol/czab065/6300625

Understanding abortion, a visual resource

This resource aims to fill a gap in communication, reducing literacy and language barriers around abortion messaging. It can be used with a range of different audiences, including people with learning disabilities, to support the audience in the process of making an informed and consensual decision. The purpose of this is to support community health workers, young people, and others advocating for an increase in knowledge and information on abortion and reducing stigma surrounding these issues. We hope the story told here can support and be a resource for those who require more information and may need to access safe abortion services. This resource can be used on its own or alongside other IPPF resources around abortion, such as the ‘How to talk about abortion: a guide to rights based messaging’ or ‘How to educate about abortion: A guide for peer educators, teachers and trainers’. In addition, IPPF have produced videos on ‘What is a surgical abortion’ and ‘What is a medical abortion’. Publication information / Acknowledgements This guide was published in November 2020. It was developed by the Packard Abortion Stigma project team at the IPPF Central Office in London and illustrated by Public Health Illustrator, Ian Kloster. The creation process of this guide incorporated valuable feedback and insights from trained health workers, disability rights advocates and reproductive rights activists. The creators gratefully acknowledge the following organizations and individuals who provided contributions and/or reviewed the guide: IPPF Secretariat team, Change-Advonet, 2+abortions Worlwide, IBIS, Lend A Voice Africa, Dr. Gisela Berger, Sherlina Nageer and David Towell.

Enabling abortion services during Covid-19 in South Asia: Experiences from India and Pakistan

The unfolding COVID-19 crisis has restricted access to contraception and safe abortion services, with the poorest and most marginalised women and girls being the worst affected. It is important that women continue to have access to safe abortion services during the COVID-19 pandemic. Whether they can access them safely and with dignity depends upon every one of us to rise to the challenge to provide them. During this challenging time, IPPF Member Associations are responding and adapting to this evolving situation and are committed to delivering the services to the women. In order to capture the innovative approaches implemented by Member Associations (MAs) for safe abortion services amid COVID19, interviews were conducted with two MAs from South Asia – Family planning association of India (FPAI) & Rahnuma -Family Planning Association of Pakistan (R-FPAP), on range of topics including Telemedicine, Abortion consultations and Post abortion contraceptive. IPPF team have collated questions and answers (Q&As) which can serve as a practical guidance for those working on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights.
