Every year, ASN supports hundreds of people who are forced to travel abroad for abortions, because the criminalisation of abortion in too many European countries makes access to safe abortion virtually impossible. 

For example Poland’s laws criminalise abortion under almost all circumstances, forcing many people to travel to Germany, the Netherlands and England for care they should be able to access in their home country, and Covid restrictions have only made this travel harder and more expensive. So far in 2021 ASN have already funded 300 people from Poland who had no choice but to travel for an abortion.

This October the Bayes family are taking on the Go The Distance challenge to raise funds for this critical work. We'll be walking, running, cycling, swimming and rowing throughout October and by the end of the month we’ll have covered 500km - the distance from Gdansk to Berlin, or from Belfast to Liverpool and back - distances many of ASN’s clients are forced to travel to access safe abortions.  

If you can, please make a donation here and support us in this challenge! Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
