Around the world, campaigners who stand up for the reproductive rights of women face harassment, intimidation and abuse. Today we stand in solidarity with our colleague from the UK Stella Creasy MP who is being targeted by anti-choice protesters in her constituency. We call upon the Metropolitan Police not to ignore this abuse but to recognise this is misogynistic hatred of a pregnant woman and a form of harassment; free speech is no excuse for such intimidation. We urge the UK as part of ratifying the Istanbul convention to bring in legislation to protect all women who seek to exercise their human right and access an abortion if they wish in privacy, security and safety.
