Safe abortion hotline Ecuador, June 2008

The Coordinadora Juvenil por la Equidad de Género (Youth Committee for Gender Equity, ‘CPJ’) invited Women on Waves to come to Ecuador to support them in their stuggle to legalize abortion. Moreover we want to inform women of the possibility to do a safe abortion themselves with medicines, Cytotec, that are available in Ecuador.

For help in Ecuador: (593) 098301317

The information about medical abortion that we provide is based on research done by the World Health Organization. (published in the Lancet. 2007 Jun 9;369(9577):1938-46.)
