After three years of organizing and the support of 1.2 million people across Europe, the European Commission has said yes to My Voice, My Choice, opening the door for EU-supported action on abortion access. But a decision on paper is not enough.
We are now entering the most critical phase of our work: making sure that political commitments are turned into real, functioning access to abortion care for women across Europe who still cannot safely exercise their freedom of choice.
This next phase requires action from EU member states, which now have a historic opportunity created by our initiative: to develop EU-funded programmes that ensure safe access to abortion care across borders where it is not available at home. This will require political will, coordination, and expert work to design systems that do not yet exist at the European level.
The support of the European Commission will also remain essential. In its Gender Equality Strategy 2026–2030, the Commission committed to making the implementation of My Voice, My Choice one of its key actions.
In the coming months, we will be working across Europe — meeting government officials, civil society organisations, doctors, and experts, while continuing engagement in Brussels with EU institutions. Our goal is to ensure these commitments are implemented, not delayed or diluted.
We have already shown what is possible when people come together. Now we need to make sure it becomes reality in practice.
If you believe that no woman’s access to healthcare should depend on where she lives, support the work that turns commitments into real change.
