“There are still many barriers to accessing safe abortions in Thailand, depending on where you live, and how much money you have.”
It’s quite emotional to remember the day the abortion law changed
“I was getting so many messages from people telling me they’d had abortions, but they didn’t know who to talk to, or how to deal with it.”
We support so many people on the hotline
“We hope that someday we don’t need to provide this support and the system can serve people as it should.”
I started talking about my abortion experience in public
“It was important that we were at the centre of this campaign to change the law, as people who’ve actually had abortions.”
We still want a more progressive approach to abortion
“We want to see better implementation of the law so people can actually access free abortion care when they need it.”
After my abortion I really wanted to do something on this issue
“I feel like the legal change is incredibly positive in terms of it finally confirming the autonomy of women.”
