Abortion Care in Canada
This project addresses misconceptions and consent around cesarean birth in Canada, providing evidence-based information to support informed and respectful childbirth care.
Description
The Abortion Care in Canada Project takes a myth-busting look at what abortion access really looks like across Canada today. While abortion is fully decriminalized, real barriers still exist, from provider shortages to widespread misinformation. This project brings together evidence-based resources, expert panels, articles, and community events to inform, empower, and spark conversations about abortion care and access. Centring the lived experiences of young people, the campaign celebrates reproductive autonomy and works to dispel common misconceptions.
