Experiences of stigma amongst healthcare professionals working in abortion care: a global survey
Legal reform is needed to reduce stigma for providers as part of broader initiatives on women's reproductive rights in general.

Mainstreaming and integrating abortion services into public health systems would also help normalise abortion care.
