WoW (Women on Waves)

Women on Waves is a non-profit organization advocating for reproductive rights, specifically focusing on safe abortion access. It operates mobile clinics on ships that sails to countries with restrictive abortion laws, providing medical services and information confidentially. Founded in 1999, WoW aims to challenge legal restrictions that endanger women's health and autonomy by offering safe procedures and raising awareness about reproductive rights globally. Their innovative approach allows women in restrictive regions to access safe, legal abortions without fear of prosecution, promoting healthcare equity and respecting women's choices.
