“…Regardless of their moral status or deviance from legal rules, all women are deserving of care and concern for their health and lives. This is far from what many women currently experience in the health system, where degradation, humiliation, and mistreatment are widespread [19]. More than technical interventions in health information and services, harm reduction seeks to counter stigmatization, and to restore worth to the woman as a member of the community whose health and life matter.…”

A harm reduction and human rights approach, grounded in the principles of neutrality, humanism, and pragmatism, supports women's access to information on the safer self- use of misoprostol in diverse legal settings. Neutrality refers to a focus on the risks and harms of abortion rather than its legal or moral status. Humanism refers to the entitlement of all women to care and concern for their lives and health, to be treated with respect, worth, and dignity, and to the empowerment of women to participate in decision-making and political action. Pragmatism accepts the historical reality that women will engage in unsafe abortion, including self-induction, while addressing factors that render them vulnerable to this reality, and requires assessment of interventions to reduce abortion-related harms on evidence of their real rather than intended effect. Criminal law reform is a necessary conclusion to a harm reduction and human rights approach.

Apesar de não se saber se essa demora acontece por discriminação contra a mulher por ter realizado um aborto, existem evidências que demonstram que o atraso em realizar o procedimento adequado para esvaziamento uterino aumenta as chances de complicações [30][31][32] . Durante a espera pela curetagem uterina, a informação de dor nem sempre foi suficiente para que a equipe de saúde ofertasse métodos farmacológicos para seu controle.…”

“…Some may have partners, friends, relatives to support them; others remain totally alone, forced to conceal their situation from all of those around them. They may find themselves subjected to abusive behaviour when their attempts at self-abortion fail, stigmatised even at the point of fighting for their lives (Steele and Chiarotti 2004). All the more powerful, then, are the campaigns that have taken place around the world to address the crippling effects of stigma.…”
