INCREASING ACCESS


Ensuring that every woman has access to the full range of reproductive health care options, including abortion, is an integral part of NAF's work. Increasing access begins with training more clinicians to provide abortion services and extends to fighting restrictions in legislatures throughout the country.

What NAF Is Doing to Increase Access

The National Abortion Federation's Access Initiative Project was created specifically to address the escalating problem of limited access to abortion in the U.S. The Access Initiative Project works with medical residency programs, educational institutions, health care professionals, legal experts, public policy organizations, and organizations for women of color to ensure that qualified clinicians are able to get the training they need, including cultural and linguistic competency, to provide safe abortions.
