The way abortion is presented in the media can have a major influence on a person's opinion on abortion. This guide has been written for those working in the media to encourage accurate reporting of the facts about abortion, and honest portrayals of abortion as part of real people’s lives and relationships. Produced in collaboration with the International Campaign for Women’s Right to Safe Abortion.  

The purpose of this statement is to outline key components of the youth peer provision model, summarize existing evidence, and provide guidance to integrate this delivery approach into the existing sexual and reproductive health services offered by IPPF Member Associations.

Abortion is an issue which people can have strong feelings about. Some consider it too ‘controversial' to include in education programmes. However, unplanned pregnancy and abortion are common occurrences around the world and IPPF believes that we all need accurate information to form our own values and make informed choices. This publication is a summary version of the peer education guide previously published.
