Amnesty highlights unsafe abortion death in Malawi
Original: “I lost a friend following an unsafe abortion in Malawi”
Amnesty International is highlighting the death of a woman in Malawi who lost her life after an unsafe abortion. The testimony, told through the words of a friend who survived her, points to the dangers women face when abortion is heavily restricted and safe services are out of reach. The organisation is using the story to renew calls for reform of Malawi's restrictive abortion laws and better access to safe reproductive healthcare.
Why now: Amnesty International is drawing renewed attention to the deadly consequences of Malawi's restrictive abortion laws through a first-person testimony.
