Safe abortion in Nepal: A success story | from Ipas

Where abortion is illegal, women suffer. Before 2002 when abortion was illegal in Nepal, women were imprisoned, half of all hospital admissions were due to complications from clandestine abortions, and hundreds of women died each year.
Ipas worked with the government and a wide array of partners to make abortion safe and accessible-and ten years later Nepal's women and health professionals say the impact has been profound. Safe abortion services are available across the country and the number of women who are dying due to unsafe abortion complications has been cut in half.
For 40 years Ipas has been working around the world to save women's lives by preventing unsafe abortion. Learn more about our work in Nepal at www.ipas.org/nepal.
