Meet Nika Kovač, the Slovenian activist who just made abortion accessible to 20 million women.

In March 2024, Kovač and a network of friends launched My Voice, My Choice as a formal European Citizens’ Initiative. After they gathered more than 1.2 million signatures in 15 countries, the European Commission was required to issue a response. On the 26th February, Brussels confirmed that EU funds can help women in countries with abortion restrictions access care elsewhere in the bloc, potentially affecting about 20 million women.

No one is too small, no one is too unimportant, if we come together we can achieve anything. I believe that this work, this fight, is worth fighting.
