Young people have the right to make decisions about our bodies. We have the right to recognise that we may not be ready to be mothers.
“I always try to see abortion as something positive.”
It is a privilege to have the opportunity to accompany someone through their abortion – to be in such a delicate moment in their life.
“I’ve been accompanying abortions for 10 years.”
Being an abortion companion is my way of transmitting that love that I would have liked to have received myself.
“We are the abortion experts.”
I want to imagine a future with free access to abortion. I want abortion taken out of all criminal codes.
“After the abortion I felt at peace.”
I came to Di Ramona and they supported me in a very humane and loving way. I felt absolute trust.
“Abortion accompaniment is about centering the person.”
We provide information and ensure people know their rights.
“Every person’s experience of abortion is different.”
At Di Ramona, we rarely focus directly on the abortion process itself, but rather on the accompaniment we provide.
