This Guide, the fourth in the series of advocates’ guides produced by ARROW, is addressed to SRHR advocates and seeks to facilitate advocacy to ensure that what has been achieved on paper translates into action on the ground, through monitoring progress on safe abortion access and quality, and the extent to which safe abortion services are informed by the prevailing international human rights standards. This advocates’ Guide may be viewed as complementary to the WHO guidance document, which was aimed at policy makers, programme managers and abortion service providers. It draws on the WHO guidance document, updating both the clinical and the policy and human rights information as needed.
