Women on Waves, established in 1999 in the Netherlands, aims to prevent unsafe abortions and empower women to exercise their human rights to physical and mental autonomy. Founded by Dr Rebecca Gomperts, the organisation works to ensure access to medical abortion and accurate information. Its activities include sea voyages, drones, robots, art projects, legal actions, education, and online support, developed in close cooperation with local organisations to address unwanted pregnancy, illegal abortion, and restrictive laws.
