Need a listening ear, holsitic support or help navigating the system?

Our Dopo-trained abortion companions provide a range of practical, emotional, somatic and spiritual abortion support. Each of us provides care in our own unique way, but always through a Reproductive Justice lens, centring the individual needs ofthe people we support. Based around the world, we’ll meet you wherever you’re at in your journey and can help you plan your care, explore your emotions or just be less alone through your experience.

Monthly abortion support spaces to share your story and fill your cup

Join us as we muse, ramble about and explore our abortions in community. These shared online spaces are as much about giving as receiving, holding and being held and seeing and feeling seen. We only ask that you read our safety statement before joining our groups.

🌟 Our friends over at Ad’iyah run a monthly support circle for Muslims who have had an abortion or think abortion might be the right choice for them on the first Sunday of the month. Learn more and sign up here.

Abortion is love.

For words of encouragement, wisdom and most importantly love, read a love note from people who want to support you on your way - and if you feel up to it, leave a note for others.

Practical, medical, emotional and spiritual support from our friends in the repro space.
