Population Report Edition I: January 2004 Printer-friendly version of this page Resources For All News From Capitol Hill Feature Story In the Spotlight Let's Get Active Resources 5 Portraits Many Lives: How Unsafe Abortion Affects Women Everywhere This richly illustrated publication puts a human face on the issue to which Ipas has dedicated 30 years: the need to ensure access to safe abortion services for all women, no matter how rich or poor, no matter where they live. Through fictionalized stories – several based on real life – set in India, Kenya, Nicaragua, Russia and the United States, it illuminates the personal contexts that lead women to seek abortions and the obstacles they too often encounter in exercising their sexual and reproductive rights. The document also describes approaches Ipas and other organizations worldwide are using to reduce and ultimately eliminate such obstacles, as well as steps concerned individuals can take. 2003 Population Reference Bureau Bulletins The quarterly Population Bulletins — on subjects ranging from world health to gender — are known for their balanced, objective, and up-to-date treatment of domestic and international population research.
