In a letter dated 7/12/2018 Action Aid stated: ‘we feel that as a responsible development agency working in the poorer countries of the world, birth control is one of the areas which should be addressed in our projects.’

‘ActionAid believes that every woman has a right to make safe, informed reproductive health choices. This includes access to safe and legal abortion services. No woman should have to risk her life, her health, her fertility, her well being of the well being of her family because she lacks reproductive health information or care. We believe all women everywhere have the right to manage their own fertility and be fully informed of their options when making decisions about reproductive health. This includes access to safe and legal abortion to terminate an unplanned and unwanted pregnancy.’
