Flipping the Narrative: Media Guide for Abortion Reporting

Abortion

March 2024

In India, access to safe and legal abortion is a critical aspect of reproductive rights. However, even with relatively progressive laws and rulings in place, abortion-seeking remains debatable and presents itself in the form of a moral and ethical dilemma. The taboos, stigmas, and myths that have been associated with abortion remain rampant and get exacerbated when mass media, a powerful and reliable source of information, is not intentional about covering the topics of abortion from the lens of choice, and bodily autonomy.

With this context, The YP Foundation (TYPF) in collaboration with Feminism in India (FII) has developed ‘Flipping the Narrative: Media Guide for Abortion Reporting,’ for journalists to provide them with a handy manual on how to report and cover abortion and its intersecting topics, sensitively. This guide can also be used and put into practice by abortion advocates, activists, and allies while developing media products on abortion.
