Access to safe abortion is health care

No More Violence Against Women; the podcast of the WAVE Network.
In this podcast, WAVE voices are amplified to give insight on topics such as sexualised violence, online violence, femicides, violence against women with disabilities, youth activism, important legislation such as the Istanbul Convention, and more to highlight the different forms and dimensions of violence against women and girls.

Women’s rights are under attack all over the world. from Iran to the USA, from Honduras to Poland, from Nicaragua to Hungary, women face different forms of gender-based violence. The US Supreme Court overturn of Roe v. Wade in Summer 2022 caused a wave of shock, disappointment and fears around the world. The decision also triggered strong mobilisation for women’s bodily autonomy and the alternatives to access safe and legal abortion in different countries. In this episode, WAVE Youth Ambassadors, youth activists from across Europe, Krisztina Les (Hungary), Sabiha Azad (Wales), Mia Bradić (Croatia) and Viktoriia Shvaher (Ukraine) tackle abortion rights and share their perspectives on how the global pushback against Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights and its crucial battle are shaping up in their national contexts.
