“I always try to see abortion as something positive.”
Nelia from REDMYH
Nelia Curmina - Promoter with REDMYH
"I always try to see abortion as something positive...my goal is to find other ways to talk about a topic that has been removed from public discussion and bring it to light with a positive perspective, so that we can talk about it freely, without stigma."

"It is a privilege to have the opportunity to accompany someone through their abortion - to be in such a delicate moment in their life. I do what I can to make them feel comfortable and to know that they are not alone."

“I've been accompanying abortions for 10 years.”
Isabel from REDMYH
Isabel RodrĂ­guez Casanova - Project Coordinator at REDMYH
"My first experience with abortion was clandestine...Being an abortion companion who, through empathy and love, allows others to make decisions about their bodies, is my way of transmitting that love that I would have liked to have received myself.

We created a support network that I didn’t have myself, because I needed to know that this world will give women and girls a choice."
