Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Sociology

- Women's experiences within the healthcare system during their abortion journey are under-researched.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the experiences of women undergoing abortion with healthcare services in Brazil.
- To investigate the impact of social and gender inequities on abortion care access.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative study involving 18 women in three cities in Bahia, Brazil.
- Data collected through face-to-face or online interviews.
- Discourse analysis technique used for empirical material analysis.
Main Results:
- Abortion experiences reveal significant social and gender inequities across different city sizes.
- Low-income women face greater access difficulties, often resorting to self-induced abortions.
- Even private clinics do not guarantee humanized care, with women experiencing prejudice.
Conclusions:
