Despite decades of progress, sexual and reproductive health and
rights remain out of reach for many people in countries across Europe.
We continue to work tirelessly to protect reproductive rights wherever
they are at risk, but we need your support.

Team-

In 2021 we continued our work with national and regional partner
organizations to fight back against regressive legislation in Europe
that puts reproductive rights at risk.

This summer, a bill was proposed in the Slovak Parliament that sought
to extend mandatory delays in obtaining abortion care and require that
patients disclose their reason for seeking an abortion, as well as
other private information.

The bill would have restricted doctors' and health facilities' ability
to provide evidence-based information on abortion and where to access
legal care.?The sole purpose of this proposed legislation was to
create new barriers for patients seeking care in Slovakia. We knew we
had to act.

We worked closely with national organizations in Slovakia on intensive
and tireless advocacy to prevent the adoption of these harmful
proposals. Together, we mobilized regional policymakers and experts as
well as civil society organizations worldwide, calling on Slovak
parliamentarians to reject these regressive proposals. In November,
the Parliament rejected the legislation.

This is just one example of the ongoing attempts to restrict
reproductive rights in many countries across Europe.

Joining forces with activists in Poland and around the world, we also
called on the European Union, the European Court of Human Rights, and
the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe to mobilize
against the grave retrogressions on abortion rights in the country.

We stand in solidarity with the courageous human rights defenders
whose safety and well-being are increasingly threatened by repeated
and continuing actions by the Polish authorities that undermine
respect for human rights and the rule of law.

We continue to demand that Poland abide by its international human
rights obligations to refrain from regressive measures that roll back
reproductive rights, and for authorities to take necessary action to
guarantee access to abortion care.

With your support we will continue this vital work to protect abortion
access for everyone, everywhere. Thank you for your continued
partnership.

Sincerely,

Adriana Lama?ková
Senior Legal Adviser, Europe
