  • For a safe and legal choice

    Every 8 minutes somewhere in the world a woman dies needless as a result of illegal, unsafe abortion. In response to this violation of womens human rights and medical need, Women on Waves sails to countries where abortion is illegal. This is done at the invitation of local women's organizations. With the use of a ship, early medical abortions can be provided safely, professionally and legally. Women on Waves aims to prevent unsafe abortions and empower women to exercise their human rights to physical and mental autonomy, by combining free healthcare services and sexual education with advocacy. Women on Waves is a non-profit organization.

  • Abortion Facts

    We are fighting for womens rights to a safe and legal choice. In many countries, women are criminalised, women are mutilated, women die als a result of criminalising abortion. The facts are are often gruesome and always humiliating violations of human rights.

  • Campaigns

    Our better known campaigns involve sea voyages to countries where abortions are illegal, but we also develop art projects, engage in legal actions, give sexual education and medical knowledge workshops, and help women with the course of their abortions via the internet.
