Welcome

Women on Waves is a Dutch non-profit organization concerned with women's human rights. Its mission is to prevent unwanted pregnancy and unsafe abortions throughout the world.

  • How can I do an abortion?

    The best and safest way a woman can do an abortion herself until the 9th week of pregnancy is with the use of two medicines called Mifepristone (also known as the abortion pill, RU 486, Mifegyn, Mifeprex), and Misoprostol (also known as Cytotec, Arthrotec, Oxaprost , Cyprostol, Mibetec, Prostokos or Misotrol).
    A medical abortion done this way has a success rate of more than 97%. If you live in a country where there is no access to safe abortion services and you would like to obtain a medical abortion with Mifepristone and Misoprostol, please go to Women on Web. This is a online medical abortion help service that refers to a doctor who can provide you with a medical abortion.
    A woman can also do an abortion herself until the 9th week of pregnancy with only the use of Misoprostol.

  • Ecuador 2008

    The Coordinadora Juvenil por la Equidad de Género (Youth Committee for Gender Equity, ‘CPJ’) invited Women on Waves to come to Ecuador to support them in their stuggle to legalize abortion. Moreover we want to inform women of the possibility to do a safe abortion themselves with medicines, Cytotec, that are available in Ecuador.

  • Abortus pil en politiek.

    Als de politieke ontwikkelingen in Nederland zich doorzetten, dan komt de abortuspil binnenkort achter slot en grendel. Women on Waves is van mening dat de abortuspil juist breder toegankelijk moet worden.

    Here you can find the answers to questions about the use of Misoprostol. Such as: Did it succeed? Where can i buy misoprostol (Citotec, Cytotec)? Where can i get the abortion pill (mifepristone, RU 486)? Can it be detected?

  • Warning!!

    False medicines offered for sale on Abortion-pill-online.com

    Do not buy any pills from the website "Abortion-pill-online.com". The medicines are not Mifepristone, Mifegyne or RU 486 as they claim. Women on Waves ordered and analysed them and the medicines that were send to us did not contain the active ingredient Mifepristone!!!
