“as long as our healthcare systems remain at the behest of patriarchal policies, achieving and maintaining abortion access free from stigmatisation will always involve a struggle. The more of our care that we can take into our own hands, the better we will be in a position to resist subjugation. That involves working together to share our knowledge, pass on our skills and support each other. “ Siobhán Clancy
