Calling all women and girls across the world, it’s time to #TakeYourSeat.
Women &girls are too often left out of conversations where their
voice is essential. Today we’re demanding our seat at the table to start a conversation about women and girls’ bodies, lives &
future.

Youth must not talk about abortion in safe spaces because we also need the public in this debate. Youth must be visible and must speak out. @RuthLabode

We live life once. People are confused when they see the term abortion but we are talking about safe abortion not random abortions. Abortion should be done freely - Hon Munetsi

Don’t wait for the government to give you what you want. You have to take what you want. This movement is for both boys and girls

You want us to rely on culture that you don’t pass on to us anymore. Being pro choice doesn’t mean we are anti life - Jnr MP Vanessa Chivizhe

Hon Mavetera - This is an emotive issue and we must be sensitive to the belief of the society. Some arguments put across for legalising abortion they defeat the whole purpose #WhyAbortionWhyNow

[SheDecideZW @SheDecidesZw]

Hon Munetsi - Let us use the media as much as possible such as Mai Chisamba platforms and have information to as many people out there and people respond

[SheDecideZW @SheDecidesZw]

Hon Dr Mavetera - Abortion is very legal in Zimbabwe but it is controlled like any other rights in the constitution

Stigma around abortion is real. Everyone has the right to health, the right to choose what happens to her body.

@dtmwase - I always say to religious leaders that if you are doing your work very well, why are young people engaging in premarital sex and getting pregnant leading to abortions? I am just a person who’s clearing up your mess

68k induced abortions happen in Zimbabwe and 40% of these women face complications. Abortion also is in top 3 causes of maternal mortality - @tendaishech

[SheDecideZW @SheDecidesZw]

@dtmwase - It’s sad that we have a whole act of parliament governing a woman’s womb. Why not treat abortion as a medical procedure and not a criminal act?
