‘I chose to keep it secret:’ a qualitative study on the lived experience of women who underwent an abortion in Ethiopia
This study reveals that women seek abortion for various reasons and experience many challenges after abortion, but most of these reasons are not supported by Ethiopian's current abortion law. As a result, they encounter numerous obstacles when trying to obtain safe abortion services.
