Hence, the executive director Centre for Bridging Health Gaps CBHGaps, Dr. Moriam Jagun @cbhgaps also observes, "Every woman needs to be given the right to access care under medico-legal indications at the right time and place" @SMHAdvocacy@solazed@ProfAkinAbayomi@yinks_shok
Unsafe termination of pregnancy continues to be a great killer of women and girls in Nigeria and Lagos State is weighing on huge effects of unsafe abortion due to lack of policy guidelines for its medical personnel @solazed#WomensLiveMatter@abiolaak@Fmohnigeria@followlasg
As media advocates on SRHR & duty bearers we shape the narrative by unlearning, learning and relearning as well as upskill knowledge on Medico-Legal implications of depriving women and girls access to safe termination thus causing unnecessary deaths @cbhgaps@healthstyleplus
Dr Moriam Jagun, Executive Director of the Centre for Bridging Health Gaps, says Nigeria has yet to domesticate the Maputo Protocol, leaving doctors to navigate a century-old abortion law and creating gaps in women’s access to safe procedures.
Tbh I hate when people bring in the angle of rape as an argument for why abortion should be “allowed”
Women shouldn’t have to experience traumatic events for them to abort.
Abortion should be legal because women should be in control of their reproductive rights. Period.
54 women die daily in Nigeria due to unsafe abortions.
Komfot Health is developing a WhatsApp bot to connect women with confidential post-abortion care, tackling stigma and barriers to access.
