How to Use Abortion Pills Safely at Home | Self-Managed Abortion (WHO Guidelines)

What is self-managed abortion and how do abortion pills work?
In this video, we explain everything you need to know about self-managed abortion (SMA), including how to use abortion pills safely, what to expect, and why the World Health Organization (WHO) considers it a safe and effective option when done with accurate information.

Self-managed abortion means using abortion pills like misoprostol alone or in combination with mifepristone, outside of a clinical setting, with access to trusted, evidence-based guidance. This option allows people to have more privacy, control, and accessibility—especially in places where abortion services are restricted or difficult to access.
