About Us

The Philippine Safe Abortion Advocacy Network (PINSAN) is committed to work towards achieving full realization of women and girls’ human rights – including their sexual and reproductive health and rights.

If women and girls cannot control their own bodies, sexualities, and fertility including their right to access safe abortion services and information – they cannot exercise other civil, political, economic, social or cultural rights.

We object to the absolute criminal ban on abortion in the Philippines and recognize that this violates women’s fundamental human rights, including the rights to life, health, non-discrimination, privacy, and freedom from cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment.

We are concerned that the country’s restrictive law has not prevented abortion and only made it extremely unsafe, leading directly to the preventable deaths of thousands of women each year.

We are aware of and condemn the abusive practices and discrimination committed against women seeking post-abortion care. We believe that every woman has the right to humane, compassionate, non-judgemental, and qualitative post-abortion care.

We believe that these abuses, complications, and deaths could be prevented. The Philippine Government needs to act to ensure that the reproductive health policies, services and programs explicitly include access to safe abortion services and information.
