Morality vs. rights: Addressing stigma and unsafe abortions in Southern Africa

Neo Kitso unpacks challenges in achieving sexual and reproductive justice, including the barriers to safe abortion and contraceptive education, particularly in marginalised communities. Topics addressed in this chat with host Kaunda Selisho include censorship, societal morality, and the stigma that limits access to reproductive rights. Kitso also examines policy hurdles such as strict abortion legality criteria and emphasises the role of regional collaborations, like the Safe Abortion Alliance of Southern Africa, in fostering shared resources and education to dismantle judgment and discrimination tied to reproductive health.
