Center for Reproductive Rights in Europe retweeted
À l’occasion de la Journée mondiale pour le droit à l'avortement, je suis fière de me joindre aux gouvernements de toute l’Europe pour réaffirmer que l’accès à des soins d’avortement sûrs, rapides et abordables est essentiel à l’autonomie corporelle, à l’égalité entre les femmes et les hommes et aux droits de l’Homme – et pour appeler à l’adoption de lois et de politiques qui favorisent l’accès à des soins d’avortement sûrs, qui protègent et soutiennent le travail de celles et ceux qui défendent ce droit.
@francediplo
