The SPHERE Coalition made this submission in response to the recent call by Government into how to improve Sexual and Reproductive Health for women. This forms part of the priority areas of the National Women’s Health Strategy 2020-2033. AFMW is an active member of the SPHERE Coalition and shares this with its members.

The SPHERE Women’s Sexual and Reproductive Health Coalition strongly supports the provision of abortion as an essential health service and integral component of reproductive health care and rights. We stand in solidarity with US health care professionals who provide abortion care and work to protect safe, compassionate access to abortion services. AFMW is a SPHERE Coalition partner and supports this position.
