Today, September 28, marks the International Day for Safe Abortion: a right that the WHO unequivocally defines as an essential component of the right to health and whose absence violates a series of fundamental human rights.

Last year, with determination and with the goal of improving the conditions of women in the EU, I actively supported and shared – both in real life and digitally – the “My Voice My Choice” campaign for access to safe abortion. This initiative collected over 1.1 million signatures, becoming the fastest-growing EU petition in its history.
