Service Provision , Digital Health & SRHR
Service Provision Nationally, abortion is only permissible in cases of rape, when the pregnant person is a child, forced marriage, in cases of incest committed with a person to the second degree of kinship, and when the pregnancy puts a risk to the health of the pregnant person or of the fetus. Moreover, abortion is only allowed to be provided by a certified medical doctor practicing in a facility at the level of a hospital or a polyclinic.
However access to SRHR services, especially safe abortion care, is still almost impossible, due to many conscious objectors. Our group has formed a network of young women physicians practicing in the legally allowed facilities. Young women physicians provide confidently safe abortion care and related health services as part of their job in the local allowed context without stigma. We aim to strengthen the network by widening the women's pro-choice human resources to continue providing safe abortion care.
Our group aims to create a virtual safe space for women and girls seeking safe abortion care in a legal context. We have mobilized digital women experts to take active roles in our group. The development of a transformative feminist digital technology will provide a virtual safe path to service and dignified care for women in Rwanda.
Digital Health & SRHR
The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us that remote therapy works. It helps people feel safe especially those who wants to be anonymous.
Telehealth and The AASAP Finder Platform
Telehealth is the practice of delivering healthcare services remotely through technology, enabling patients to access medical care and information without visiting a physical healthcare facility. The ASSAP Finder platform contributes to telehealth by assisting Rwandan users in finding nearby safe abortion care facilities and assistance via web and app interfaces. It offers accessible guidance, including a pregnancy calculator, in multiple languages offline, empowering individuals to make informed reproductive health choices from their homes or communities.
