We are women pro-choice Doctors

We are a network of young women physicians in Rwanda. We share the spirit of activism driven by the passion for radically advancing women's access to sexual and reproductive rights

Feminism is at the heart of our radical approach. Doctors are the most influencing individuals when it comes to abortion. Additionally, women are the most well positioned to speak out against the injustice they face.Rwanda Women Doctors For Reproductive Justice was initiated in 2021 by young feminists to create a network of pro-choice women physicians who are progressive enough to provide legal, safe abortion services. The aim was to unite and empower women to support women.

Our approach is unique and inspiring. Through creativity, organizing, and a sense of solidarity, we created a movement of resistance to inequity spearheaded by feminists.

We know well that not everyone is ready to taste changes brought by the feminist movements. Many are afraid to face women who exercise their full rights to decide about their bodies. Many groups are unwilling to openly and comprehensively address abortion rights and legal access issues. This is because, in reality, the power to decide is embedded in a patriarchal system, and women continue to suffer from limited access to legal services. At RWDFRJ, we believe there is a need to shift the power to the most vulnerable and most affected. We prioritize collaborative care and protect our members from external threats and harassment.
