Abortion Stigma in Delhi NCR

Abortion

While a vast amount of research on understanding abortion stigma has been conducted globally, there is limited existing work on stigma in the Indian context. A majority of current research in India continues to focus on understanding the laws, policies, and access to abortion services. But abortions stigma leads to discrimination against women in every sphere of their lives, including socio-economic, political and even accessing medical spaces and services.

The ‘Abortion Stigma in Delhi NCR’ study was conducted to address this gap and explored abortion stigma through a socio-cultural lens. This study was a qualitative exploratory study to understand the perception of abortion stigma particularly among young people in Delhi NCR. The research aims to understand young peoples’ perception regarding abortion, their awareness of abortion related services and laws, prevalent myths and misconceptions, and sources of stigma around abortion.
