In Kalangala district, women and young people face significant barriers to accessing timely, confidential and quality post-abortion care due to geographical isolation, long travel distances, lack of information and social stigma. These delays lead to preventable health complications and strain vulnerable families.

COHERINET is partnering with Kalangala Health Centre and Equino Pharmacy to connect community networks directly to health facilities and the Aunt KAKI toll-free helpline. This initiative will enable women and young people to access appropriate post-abortion care services safely and promptly.

This collaboration will strengthen health providers' capacity, enhance referral pathways and improve continuity of care, ensuring no one is left behind due to distance, information gaps or weak service linkages. Together, we can transform partnerships into pathways to care and better health outcomes.

SEPTEMBER 28 INTERNATIONAL SAFE ABORTION DAY | GULU DISTRICT

Breaking the Silence: From Stigma to Support and Care

We started the day on Spirit FM, using the talk show to create awareness about International Safe Abortion Day, why the day matters, and the importance of timely and compassionate post-abortion care.

We then proceeded with a community dialogue, creating space for honest conversations about stigma, harmful social norms and the barriers that prevent women from seeking care.

One powerful reflection was around “Chuluko” the belief that when a woman experiences a miscarriage, she may be blamed for having “killed” the pregnancy and expected to pay money, provide animals and facilitate rituals.

These beliefs can leave women facing blame, shame, fear and financial burdens when what they need is compassion, support and healthcare.

Today, Gulu District is speaking up.

Let us break the silence.
Let us challenge harmful stigma.
Let us support women to seek care without fear or judgment.

TOGETHER, LET’S MAKE UNSAFE ABORTION HISTORY.

Care, not blame.
Support, not stigma.
Timely care, not dangerous delays.

On International Safe Abortion Day, we recognise the role of police officers as key partners in building safe, supportive and rights-respecting communities.

By strengthening collaboration between law enforcement, health workers and communities, we can help ensure people seeking reproductive healthcare are treated with dignity, respect and without stigma.
