Abortion Atlas 2025

Dear Members and Partners,

Greetings from EPF! I hope you are all doing well. First of all, thank you very much for answering the questionnaires. We are almost done with the encoding and will send you the preliminary results this week.

In the meantime, we will be creating the poster and updating the website.  So I am writing to you just to verify your affiliation to be mentioned in the Expert Group. You can see the example here (Contraception Atlas) or here (Abortion Atlas) . We have already heard from WHO and Amnesty Int and noted it.  

By mentioning your names we would like to show our appreciation for your collaboration and support (not to make you responsible for the results of the Atlas). The disclaimer on the bottom of page 1 states that EPF is solely responsible for the Atlas results.  The logos on page 2 will be for the organisations that helped validate the national answers. Without further notice from you we will proceed with below text on the poster:
