SAAF donor FCDO has awarded us an A+ performance score as part of their Grassroots Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights Programme.

Can you provide technical support on safety and security?
|
|
|
Our grantee partners mostly operate in settings where abortion services are legally restricted, and they can face harassment, arrest and digital and physical attacks for the work that they do. We are therefore looking for providers of technical support on safety and security to support abortion advocates and providers around the world.
SAAF is seeking proposals from organisations/individuals with experience providing technical support on safety and security to human rights defenders. We require people who can work in English, French, Spanish or any combination of these languages.
Information is available on our website in English, French and Spanish and we will be accepting proposals until 30th January 2024.

Women Spaces Africa event for International Safe Abortion Day
|
|
Women Spaces Africa (WSA) is a feminist disability-led grassroots organisation in Kenya which focuses on improving reproductive health and rights for women with disabilities.
WSA started receiving SAAF funding in 2022 and has been carrying out monthly abortion dialogues with girls and women with disabilities, including those who are lesbian, bisexual and queer. 90% of people who participated in the sessions are now aware of how and where to access safe abortion services. WSA makes referrals for those who need to access reproductive health services, and is able to ensure these are provided at a subsidised or free rate as cost can often be an issue.
WSA is also in the process of developing content for a YouTube channel which will provide accurate information on medical and self-managed abortion in sign language for the Deaf community.
