Launch of a New Charity Aimed at Tackling Abortion Stigma

28 June 2021

Today sees the virtual launch of a new charity, ‘Abortion Talk’, which aims to “destigmatise abortion, one conversation at a time” by providing safe spaces to talk for people affected by abortion and healthcare professionals who provide abortion care.

‘Abortion Talk’ is breaking the silence around abortion by creating spaces for anyone affected by their experience to talk and be heard.

Abortion is one of the most common procedures in the UK and a normal and routine part of healthcare, yet it is often not spoken about and surrounded by silence. This can lead to stigma and feelings of shame – both for people who have abortions and those who provide abortion care.

‘Abortion Talk’ aims to tackle these issues by creating a safe, non-judgmental space for anyone to talk about abortion and to have the conversations that matter to them.
