We have initiated many projects. Unfortunately, these projects are only available in German at the moment. We are working on translations and apologize for any inconvencience.
App "Alli"
The "Alli" app is a personalised and empathetic companion that guides individuals with an unwanted or disrupted early pregnancy through the entire process of a medication abortion. The Alli app is available in German and English and can be downloaded from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
"I provide abortions. And you?"
The aim of our campaign "I provide abortions, and you?" (German: "Ich mache Abbrüche, und Sie?") is to motivate more health care providers to take part in the care of people with unwanted pregnancies and offer abortions themselves. The project web page (currently only available in German) provides information and options for doctors on how they can support their patients who need abortion care.
Abortion Training Academy (Fortbildungsakademie)
We have developed free, evidence-based online training courses on abortion. Our aim is to contribute to the improvement of medical education and training. There are currently 4 training courses available in German.
Abortion At Home
"Abortion At Home" (German: "Schwangerschaftsabbruch Zuhause") is a pilot project for telemedicine medication abortion in Germany. The project is currently on hiatus.
Information Campaign
"More than you think, less than you think" (German: "Mehr als du denkst - Weniger als du denkst") is an evidence-based educational campaign to overcome taboos, raise awareness and expose myths about abortion.
Cooperation with Medical Students for Choice
In more and more cities, student groups (e.g., Medical Students for Choice; Critical Medical Students) are being formed to address the issue of abortion. This section provides an overview of these working groups in German-speaking countries.
Papaya Workshops
Together with Medical Students for Choice, we organize Papaya workshops across Germany, where participants gain a deeper understanding of the theory and practice of abortion (including through the use of a Papaya model). These workshops are organized by student working groups, while physicians from Doctors for Choice lead the sessions, drawing on their practical expertise.
Later abortion
An abortion can be needed later than the first trimester for numerous reasons and be performed using different methods. We aim to provide an overview of the issue and serve as a liaison to clinics that can provide this care. Gynecologists interested in the subject can also receive expert consultation on the matter.
Abortion Buddy
We believe that everyone has the right to compassionate support during an abortion. That is why a group in Berlin started the Abortion Buddy project.
