What is accompaniment for abortion self-care?
¿Qué es el acompañamiento para el autocuidado del aborto?
Sometimes, supporting someone can make the process easier—sharing experiences, talking about what’s happening, and offering a hand when it’s time to move from one place to another.
People who accompany can:
- Be a source of practical and accurate information (for example, offering guidance on where to access quality pills, how to use them correctly, and which services to turn to in case of complications or the need for additional support).
- Provide emotional support to those who wish to share their needs, thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a space free of judgment, fear, or mistreatment.
- Help reduce stigma around abortion by sharing accurate information and dispelling myths.
