Backstreet Abortion

Tasmin Vosloo 5min

In 1993 abortion was made legal in South Africa with certain limitations. Despite this, the number of ‘backstreet’, illegal abortions is increasing rapidly. Access to adequate healthcare is not always a viable option for women and the consequences are severe, with bogus abortionists and street doctors preying on desperate, uneducated and vulnerable women. Backstreet Abortions is an investigation into illegal abortions, specifically a man named “Dr Khan” who conducts “safe & pain-free” abortions at any stage of a women’s pregnancy.
