Nearly half of all pregnancies worldwide are unintended, and over 60 per cent of these may end in abortion. 45 percent of all abortions are unsafe. Progress partly depends on the resourcefulness and ingenuity of providers themselves.

The World Health Organization states "Sexual health requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence. For sexual health to be attained and maintained, the sexual rights of all persons must be respected, protected and fulfilled.” To support our clients' sexual well-being during an abortion appointment, we must counteract the power differential between healthcare provider and client.

Whether you’re looking to support Choice in Health in a way that’s quick and fun, or more deep and ongoing, your creativity is welcome here. We are currently hiring board members – and inviting submissions to our #prochoicepets campaign! Apply to our board by July 21st.

Our healthcare facility exists because women's rights activists demanded safe access to abortion procedures, a right that we are still defending today. We appreciate the leaders who made our work possible, while honouring the many gender diverse individuals that their movement erased from history. We want to acknowledge that Choice in Health historically erased the identities of our own staff and board, and others who may have felt excluded from working here.
