Depending on the social and political climate, some women find it difficult to find secure and reliable information regarding abortions, and the Safe Abortion App was born from this need. The app was developed by the Hesperian Health Guide and is free for both iPhone and Android users.
The app was designed to work offline so once users download it, the app will not track the user's queries. The Safe Abortion App offers a variety of information including safe methods of abortion, danger signs, and how to estimate how many weeks the user is pregnant. This information is available in English, French, Spanish, Igbo, and Yoruba to allow more individuals access to accurate and user-friendly information regarding abortions.
