Event: Marie Stopes International

On 23-24 October 2007, Marie Stopes International, in association with Ipas and Abortion Rights, will hold an International Global Conference on Safe Abortion in London.

The conference will build consensus and momentum around international efforts to reduce the unacceptable toll on women’s health and lives caused by unsafe abortion, through increasing access to safe services, recognising women’s right to self determination and encouraging legal reform.

The conference will also mark the 40th anniversary (27 October, 2007) of the United Kingdom’s 1967 Abortion Act, review current barriers to access and issues of concern in UK provision and practice, and seek ways to remove any barriers.
