Additional Information / Shotlist Creating safe environments means more people talking about safe abortion care and more people having access to sexual and reproductive health services.

In the city of Beira, on Mozambique’s central coast, MSF works in partnership with local communities and Ministry of Health staff to combat stigma and misinformation that still hinder access to safe abortion care.

Our approach aims to connect hard-to-reach communities — sex workers, adolescents, and transgender people — to health services and accurate information about abortion and sexual and reproductive health.

We provide direct care and health education through mobile and community clinics and mentor Ministry of Health staff to improve the quality of care and make health facilities places free of prejudice.

Mozambique has one of Africa’s most liberal abortion laws, allowing abortion on request during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy and up to 24 weeks in limited circumstances, including fetal abnormality.
