DFID’s policy on safe abortion takes an evidence-based, public health approach that aims to reduce death and disability caused by unsafe abortions. In countries where abortion is highly restricted, we can help make the consequences of unsafe abortion more widely understood and can consider supporting policy reform. We do not undertake any activity that is against local laws.
