Unsafe abortions are thought to claim
47,000 lives annually and are found more frequent in developing countries with
restrictive abortion laws and limited access to health care facilities. This article
aims to explore the experience of women exposed to an unsafe abortion in Sudan,
and address the underlying factors that affected women’s decision. Three themes
emerged: 1> unbalanced relationship dynamic between women and their partners;
2> the fear of social stigma; 3> influence of religious context.
Recommendations were made by researchers according to the situation they found.
