In the Philippines, abortion remains criminalized under the Revised Penal Code, placing women, girls, and pregnant people at risk of unsafe procedures, stigma, and discrimination. This punitive framework does not prevent abortions from happening, it only makes them more dangerous and inaccessible. Decriminalizing abortion is essential to protect health, uphold human rights, and ensure that all individuals can make decisions about their bodies and futures with dignity and safety.
To advance this urgent call for reform, it is vital to establish a strong and coordinated network of advocates. A united front enables us to share knowledge, amplify voices, and build collective strategies that can effectively challenge harmful laws and shift public discourse. Through collaboration, we can strengthen the movement for reproductive justice and push for meaningful, lasting change.
If you share this vision and agree with our Basis of Unity, we invite you to sign up and be part of this network. By joining, you contribute to a growing community committed to advancing the decriminalization of abortion in the Philippines and ensuring that the rights and well-being of all are respected.
