Every year 25 million women undergo an unsafe abortion and between 22,500 and 44,000 women worldwide die from the complications. She Makes Her Safe Choice works to reduce these devastating numbers by providing women with a safe choice.
Rigid gender norms have negative effects on both girls and boys, and inhibit Indonesia from fully benefiting from its economic growth potential, also known as the demographic dividend. These are key results from the Global Early Adolescent Study (GEAS) and the Youth Voices Research conducted in Indonesia as part of the pioneering research and advocacy programme, Explore4Action.
Last week’s announcement that Indonesia’s new penal code will include a number of very regressive articles, is extremely worrying and threatens the sexual and reproductive health and rights of all. The draft law includes the criminalisation of unmarried people living together, homosexuality, safe abortion and sharing information on contraception. Rutgers is gravely concerned by this drastic proposal, and stands in support of those opposing its ratification.
