To ask Her Majesty's Government in which countries where abortion is limited, highly restricted or prohibited they have funded initiatives aimed at legal and policy reform on abortion in each of the last seven years; what estimate they have made of how much of that funding has been spent on that issue in each of those countries; to which organisations in those countries they have provided such funding for that purpose; and how much money they have given to each of those organisations, and for what purpose.

Our work on safe abortion policy reform is integrated into wider DFID programming and so it is not possible to disaggregate this information. DFID’s policy on safe abortion takes an evidence-based, public health approach that aims to reduce death and disability caused by unsafe abortions.
