Digital censorship of abortion

Women on Web provides safe abortion pill access by mail to the world.

A surging number of people are searching for abortion-related information online. Concurrently, Big Tech companies and governments are suppressing accurate abortion information, which prevents millions of people worldwide from accessing critical healthcare and having complete control over their own bodies. Just when the pro-abortion movement needs tech to step up to ensure our right to accurate health care information, the threats of digital suppression and disinformation are only increasing.

This session will introduce you to Women on Web's work and history, that started as proabably the first telemedicine abortion provider helping people to access abortion pills online nearly 20 years ago, within a complety different internet landscape. We dive deeper into what changed, what types fo digital suppression WoW and other Repro Organizations are facing today and how we can build strong and creative coalitions.

Women on web is also part of the https://www.reprouncensored.org/ coalition.
