Badania naukowe
W Women on Web jesteśmy dumni z naszych szczegółowych badań naukowych, innowacji ukierunkowanych na użytkownika i opartych na dowodach protokołów dotyczących opieki aborcyjnej. Ściśle dostosowujemy nasze usługi do wytycznych Światowej Organizacji Zdrowia.
Wytyczne Światowej Organizacji Zdrowia.
Nasze zaangażowanie na rzecz oparej na dowodach i pełnej empatii opieki aborcyjnej znajduje odzwierciedlenie zarówno w naszych własnych przełomowych badaniach, jak i we współpracy z uniwersytetami, osobami prywatnymi i kolektywami na całym świecie. Działania te wzmacniają podstawy opartego na faktach rzecznictwa i kształtowania polityki w zakresie opieki aborcyjnej w wielu miejscach na świecie.
Badania naukowe są podstawą wszystkiego, co robimy. To na ich podstawie publikujemy informacje o naszych działaniach, tworzymy protokoły naszych usług i aktywnie promujemy bezpieczny dostęp do aborcji. Dzielimy się naszymi danymi z lokalnymi grupami, aby wspierać ich pracę na rzecz dostępu do opieki aborcyjnej i dostarczać argumenty niezbędne przy próbach wpływania na podejmowanie decyzji politycznych.
Nasze pionierskie badania nad telemedycyną i samodzielnie zarządzaną opieką aborcyjną konsekwentnie wykazały bezpieczeństwo, skuteczność i akceptowalność tych modeli opieki. Co więcej, nasze badania nad ścieżkami dostępu do aborcji online w restrykcyjnych środowiskach odegrały kluczową rolę w przygotowywaniu reform prawnych i zmian regulacyjnych oraz rozszerzaniu dostępu tam, gdzie jest on najbardziej potrzebny.
