Violation of the right to abortion at the time of the war in Ukraine.

ABSTRACT

Abortion is still a controversial medical practice. One country where it is not possible to have an abortion freely is Poland. During the war between Russia and Ukraine, many Ukrainian women became pregnant due to rape. These women, refugees in Poland, have asked for an abortion; however, under Polish law, it is not possible to have an abortion if the rape has not yet been legally recognized. This situation is causing a very serious violation of the fundamental rights to the health and self-determination of Ukrainian women. It will be necessary to implement all possible international measures to allow these women to abort freely.
