The “My Voice, My Choice” campaign is a unique opportunity for European citizens to take action and improve the lives of women across the European Union. This initiative is aimed at ensuring that all women, no matter where they live or their personal circumstances, have access to safe and legal reproductive healthcare, including abortion.
In many parts of Europe, access to abortion remains severely limited, causing significant harm to women’s physical, emotional, and financial well-being. This lack of access disproportionately affects women from marginalized communities, exacerbating social inequalities. The inability to receive safe reproductive care forces many women to resort to dangerous, illegal abortions, further endangering their health and lives.
Research has shown that restricting access to safe abortions does not lower abortion rates. Instead, it drives women to unsafe, unregulated procedures that can have devastating consequences. The “My Voice, My Choice” campaign aims to change this reality.
The campaign calls on the European Commission to propose financial support for member states that currently lack the resources to provide safe, legal abortion services. This would ensure that all women in Europe have the freedom to make decisions about their own bodies in a safe, supportive environment.
By signing the “My Voice, My Choice” initiative, you can help create a more just and equitable Europe. Together, we can ensure that women’s rights are respected and protected, leading to a more inclusive society that reflects European values of solidarity and fairness.
