Malawi Safe Abortion Hotline: Aunty Jane Aunty Jane Hotline is an Interactive Voice Response system, meaning women and girls can access information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in English and Chichewa. Aunty Jane Hotline gives information on post-partum haemorrhage prevention, contraception, unwanted pregnancy and abortion, and other sexual and reproductive health topics. Because abortion is a very stigmatized topic, the launch of this public hotline is an important step forward.

Nigeria Safe Abortion Hotline: Ms Rosy Our work is focused on increasing access for women to information on safe abortion services including the availability of misoprostol locally and to reduce abortion stigma. We have started a hotline to provide free, safe and reliable judgmental way, about contraception, the prevention of unwanted pregnancy, abortion and post abortion care, and prevention of postpartum hemorrhage. Callers can choose to talk one-on-one to a trained operator or can listen to pre-recorded information on the Interactive Voice Response system, which makes information available to women 24 hours a day. Generation Initiative for Women and Youth Network (GIWYN) and allies named the hotline Ms Rosy Hotline. Ms Rosy Hotline (08097737600 or 08097738001) empowers women with knowledge about women's health and safe choices. It is an information service, not a medical service itself, and all the information provided is based on resources from the World Health Organization. To prepare for the hotline, GIWYN organized a workshop that was facilitated by non-medical trainers (consultants in international reproductive health) from Women Help Women and TICAH (Kenya), sponsored by the Safe Abortion Action Fund (SAAF). During the training, a misoprostol song was written. It was very exciting to sing it GIWYN and Allies were excited to launch Ms Rosy Hotline publicly with marches, music, and promotional materials like banners, stickers, buttons, aprons and T-shirts in Lagos on the 27September 2014, using the momentum of the 28 September Global Day of Action for Safe and Legal Abortion. The launch involved the National Coalition for Safe Abortion member organizations and individuals.  |

ASIA Bangladesh Safe Abortion Hotline "Naribandhob" Menstrual regulation (MR) is legal in Bangladesh up to 10 weeks from the last menstrual period, though many women still use unsafe methods to terminate unwanted pregnancies. Hopefully with this hotline more women will be able to access safe alternatives. A new sexual and productive health hotline is being launched in Dhaka, to provide women with information about reproductive health education, safe medical MR and the life-saving drug misoprostol . "Naribandhob" hotline can be reached at 088-01853-892424. The hotline will provide safe and scientific information on how a woman can use the life-saving drug misoprostol for safe MR, post-MR care, and to prevent deadly bleeding after giving birth (post-partum haemorrhage), the leading causes of maternal death and injury in Bangladesh. These deaths and injuries can be prevented if women are given safe and scientific information and access to essential medications and services. Information is provided free of charge through a regular mobile phone number. The hotline will be run by Community Life Bangladesh, in collaboration with the international reproductive health organizations Women on Waves (Netherlands), Women on Web, Asia Safe Abortion Partnership, and Aware Girls (Pakistan). Community Life is a community-based, rural, voluntary women's organization working for raising awareness and providing safe medical MR, information, contraception and women's reproductive rights. Misoprostol is available in Bangladesh under the brand names of Cytomis and Isovent. According to WHO, it is an essential obstetric and gynaecological medicine, and is safe to use for MR. It has been recognized to lower maternal mortality where it is made available to women. There is a need for safe MR services that has not been adequately covered by the available facilities. The hotline will refer to local clinics but also will inform women about the self-administration of MR using pills. Unsafe abortion is responsible for 8,000 maternal deaths and over 572,000 women suffering complications every year in Bangladesh. |

Pakistan Safe Abortion Hotline "Sahailee" "Sahailee" means female friend in Urdu. Three phone lines give information in Urdu, Pastho, Hindi, and Punjabi - 24/7. These hotlines give information about how women can use the medication misoprostol to have a safe abortion, or to prevent dangerous haemorrhaging after giving birth. Every year 30,000 women die from pregnancy-related causes in Pakistan. The use of misoprostol by women themselves after giving birth or for induction of safe abortion can save the lives of 10,000 women in Pakistan every year. Misoprostol is available in Pakistan under the brand names Arthrotec, Cytotec, Cytopan, and ST Mom®. Asia Safe Abortion Partnership facilitated the launch of the hotline with three local partners, Aware Girls, Peace Foundation and Wake-up Call International, in collaboration with Women on Waves and Women on Web, funded by Mama Cash. This hotline puts life-saving information directly into the hands of the women who need it:
Analysis of the calls tells us that this has potential as an effective communication strategy in a restrictive environment and a promising way of decentralizing medical abortion access. The Hotline was accessed by men as well as women. Callers were aged 16-46 years and most often married. There were few young, unmarried women also accessing the lines. The callers were most often women with three or more children, seeking information about medical abortion. Most have had either secondary or higher secondary schooling and a majority were employed (formal or self-employed). There were more callers from urban areas than rural. Literacy levels are low in rural Pakistan, so the stickers and flyers may not have been a useful means to reach rural women. It is also likely that women in the urban areas have greater access to telephones. Our partners are now using different strategies for communicating with women, such as radio advertisements, slogans, radio interviews, and pictorial material. They also plan to involve traditional birth attendants, sex workers and Lady Health Workers to reach women in their homes. The callers are very satisfied with the information provided by the Hotline and are willing to refer others if needed. The same findings are seen for the follow-up calls too. The follow-up calls were mainly to get more information about the abortion pill, the abortion procedure or minor side effects. Very few follow-up calls (6%) were made for heavy bleeding, incomplete abortion, or failure of abortion. The Hotlines also have to address the failure of medical abortion with appropriate referral. |
