October 16, 2024
Governments, political leaders, health experts, and UN officials gathered at SheDecides’ high-level abortion rights rally last week, to take part in a political journey reflecting on the struggle for reproductive freedom across time and across the world.
Here, on the sidelines of UNGA, world leaders and SRHR experts reaffirmed their commitment to safe and legal abortion as a fundamental human right for all people, everywhere. This timely event was held in the heart of New York ahead of the US election, where abortion rights are increasingly on the ballot.
The rally celebrated recent progress in abortion law reform, while also emphasising the urgent need for continued collective action. It provided a unique platform to introduce the new SheDecides initiative: Abortion Archives. Participants were treated to an exclusive sneak peek of POWER TO DECIDE, an exhibition which explores six decades of the global abortion rights movement through powerful photography and artefacts from 25 countries across five continents, covering the years 1970 to 2024 - an exhibition, created by the movement for the movement, that will be activated in different countries and around diverse political moments during 2025.
