Mbolatiana Raveloarimisa spent two and a half years writing “3,000 Women”, a book that gives voice to experiences with illegal abortion in Madagascar.

Raveloarimisa gathered stories from women and healthcare professionals to illustrate the dangers and consequences of unsafe terminations. The book aims to start a public conversation about abortion, which remains illegal in Madagascar, and the health and social issues surrounding it. Raveloarimisa hopes the book will bring these stories into the open and encourage discussion.

She presented “3,000 Women” on September 25 at the Radisson Blu hotel in Ambodivona, marking the completion of her work and the beginning of a wider debate about clandestine abortion in the country.
