The only global fund dedicated to safe abortion

What is SAAF?

The Safe Abortion Action Fund (SAAF) is the only global fund focused exclusively on the right to safe abortion.

We provide funding and support to organisations in low and middle income countries to work on abortion advocacy campaigns, research, attitude-transformation, and the provision of safe, high quality abortion care.

Our mission is to support a vibrant global movement that works towards increasing access to safe abortion.

"As a global abortion fund, most of the work we do is remote and online, but we feel there is still a place for in-person human contact, especially when working on such a stigmatised topic. ..We’re about to hold our third ever ‘global gathering’.

And how do we try to make sure this kind of meeting is not just effective, but inspiring and impactful?"Read more in English, French and Spanish: ... See MoreSee Less
