Training on Post-Abortion Care (PAC) and Rights-Based Advocacy: Clinical Practice and Legal Framework Navigation
Course Overview
What is Post-Abortion Care (PAC) and Rights-Based Advocacy?
Post-Abortion Care (PAC) is a comprehensive package of clinical and supportive services provided to women following abortion—whether spontaneous or induced—including emergency treatment, counseling, and family planning. Rights-based advocacy ensures that care is delivered in line with legal frameworks, ethical standards, and human rights principles, safeguarding dignity, access, and non-discrimination.
Unsafe abortions and inadequate post-abortion care contribute significantly to maternal morbidity and mortality. Many healthcare providers face legal uncertainty, stigma, and lack of training in both clinical management and rights-based service delivery. This leads to delayed care, poor patient experiences, and missed opportunities for prevention and support.
This course equips participants with clinical competencies in PAC alongside a clear understanding of legal and policy frameworks. It emphasizes respectful, non-judgmental care, informed consent, and advocacy skills to ensure safe, accessible, and compliant post-abortion services.
