'Lockdown Without Plan Increases Risk Of Unsafe Abortions In In SL' ASAP Conversation With Shelani by ASAP Conversations

#ASAPConversationDuringCOVID Ep 6
Shelani Palihawadana from Sri Lanka and Project Coordinator with Country Advocacy Network Youth Advocacy Network Sri Lanka (YANSL) spoke to us about the accessibility of abortion in the country with having one of the most restrictive laws in the region, permitting abortion only to save a mother's life. As for this #lockdown, despite guidelines being initiated by the govt, lack of awareness and access to information, has created a sense of panic and helpless for many. Watch how the CSOs like YANSL have been fighting this clamp down on abortion during #covid19 but also for many years before that.
