A lesbian rights organization

In January 1996, the Clube Safo was formed by a group of friends with the goal to promote lesbian visibility and act against any discrimination in the fields of women?s sexual rights. Formally founded in February 2002, it now has a hundred members and sympathisers, who hold meetings, New Year's Eve parties, sports activities, and an annual Sapphic camp. Since 1996, it publishes the newsletter Zona Livre for the divulgation of information about lesbian issues, with a growing capacity to fight against discrimination. They also hold annual conferences with academics, technicians and activists concerning themes as diverse as lesbian visibility and homoparenthood.

  • How can I do an abortion with pills?

    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).
    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.
    A woman can also do an abortion herself until the 9th week of pregnancy with only the use of Misoprostol.
