A parent-child dialogue was conducted at Mdantsane NU-18 as the community is faced with the challenge of having teenagers do abortions in unsafe places.
The information shared was on choosing T.O.P. to remove the stigma around it. We also shared where it can be safely done and how far along in pregnancy it can be done.
FACTS

- CTOPA allows abortion on request up to the 12th week of pregnancy, under specified circumstances from the 13th to 20th week, and only for serious medical reasons after the 20th week.
