About Abortion Support

Abortion Support South Africa is a non-profit organisation founded in 2016. We are a team of activists, researchers, and healthcare providers working to increase access to abortion in South Africa and beyond.

We provide accurate and compassionate information about abortion and online referrals for women and pregnant people needing abortion pills. Our goal is to offer safe and affordable abortion options centred on the rights and preferences of women and pregnant people.

Since launching our digital platform, we’ve supported thousands of women and pregnant people in safely managing their abortions at home.

Abortion Support South Africa works with partners to advocate for abortion care that reaches the people who need. In addition, we carry out research on abortion access and innovative models of abortion care.

Our work is funded by the Safe Abortion Action Fund. We also partner with the Women on Web International Foundation to bring this service to South African women.

Our mission is to improve access to safe and compassionate digital abortion information and care.
