<p>The UK Government uses a range of data sources and publications to inform our policy
on how to tackle unsafe abortion, as cited in our published position. The UK Government
has used and reported on the Guttmacher Institute estimates in our Single Departmental
Plan Family Planning sector page since July 2018.</p><p> </p><p>DFID’s bilateral and
multi-country programmes take an integrated approach in order to meet a wide range
of women’s reproductive health needs. For example, providing a woman with holistic
care for gender-based violence, HIV counselling, safe-abortion care and information
on family planning. Because of the integrated nature of this work, it is not possible
to provide a break-down of funding on safe abortion services alone. The aim of the
UK Government’s work on sexual and reproductive health and rights overseas is to reduce
the number of unwanted pregnancies and unsafe abortions, increase the use of voluntary
family planning, and give women control over their own bodies and lives.</p>
