Malawi's Religious Leaders Unite to Advocate for Legal Abortion Access

Credited from: THEGUARDIAN

  • The Rev Cliff Nyekanyeka leads efforts advocating for women's right to choose following personal experiences with the consequences of illegal abortions in Malawi.
  • Malawi's abortion laws are among the strictest globally, allowing imprisonment for women seeking abortions, restricted only to life-saving cases.
  • Despite the laws, 141,000 illegal abortions were estimated in 2015, with unsafe procedures contributing to high maternal mortality rates.
  • Malawi's Religious Leaders Network for Choice, formed in 2019, now includes over 1,000 members advocating for legislative reform.
  • Although facing opposition, the network aims to improve understanding of abortion issues among policymakers and the public, demonstrated by recent parliamentary discussions.
