Today marks the International Safe Abortion Day, a time to reflect on the progress made and the challenges that remain in ensuring women’s access to safe and legal abortion in Ethiopia.

In Ethiopia, 11.7 million women want to avoid pregnancy—but 4.5 million are left without access to modern contraceptives. This gap is costing lives, with poor and rural women most affected.

At TaYA, we are committed to closing this gap. By expanding youth-friendly health services and advocating for increased funding, we can prevent 90% of unintended pregnancies, save 10,000 mothers, and reduce newborn deaths by 85%.

TaYA, in collaboration with UNESCO, Family Guidance Association of Ethiopia (FGAE), Enderase Youth Association and UNFPA, recently organized a workshop with the aim of developing innovative digital content to deliver sexual and reproductive health (SRH) information to young people using selected low-tech tools.
