Friday 28 September was Day of Global Action for Decriminalization of Abortion. As Mozambique waits for the National Assembly debate that could decriminalize abortion later this year, we bring you an audioslideshow showing the dramatic reality in Inhambane province, 500 kms North of Maputo, the capital: desperate women resort to risky procedures and unscrupulous individuals perform unspeakable atrocities on women’s bodies. Watch here the consequences of illegal abortion.
