Women on Waves is a Dutch non-profit organization concerned with women's human rights. Its mission is to prevent unwanted pregnancy and unsafe abortions throughout the world.
How can I do an abortion?
The best and safest way a woman can do an abortion herself until the 9th week of pregnancy is with the use of two medicines called Mifepristone (also known as the abortion pill, RU 486, Mifegyn, Mifeprex), and Misoprostol (also known as Cytotec, Arthrotec, Oxaprost , Cyprostol, Mibetec, Prostokos or Misotrol).
A medical abortion done this way has a success rate of more than 97%. If you live in a country where there is no access to safe abortion services and you would like to obtain a medical abortion with Mifepristone and Misoprostol, please go to Women on Web. This is a online medical abortion help service that refers to a doctor who can provide you with a medical abortion.
A woman can also do an abortion herself until the 9th week of pregnancy with only the use of Misoprostol.

Council of Europe adopts resolution on access to abortion
16.04.2008
Council of Europe member states should guarantee ‘right to access to a safe and legal abortion’, says PACE;Abortus pil en politiek.
Als de politieke ontwikkelingen in Nederland zich doorzetten, dan komt de abortuspil binnenkort achter slot en grendel. Women on Waves is van mening dat de abortuspil juist breder toegankelijk moet worden.
