  • Summary

    Objective: The purpose of this chapter is to describe Oriéntame’s training program for abortion and post-abortion service provision in Colombia. We cover how it has evolved through time and experience, and how it has contributed to decrease access barriers to services and to normalize the provision of legal abortion after its partial decriminalization. Methods: Using Oriéntame’s training program as a case study, we described its ethical, theoretical and practical components. These components were imparted within a human rights framework, and are rooted in a comprehensive understanding of the concept of health in order to fully implement the law. Conclusion: Oriéntame’s training program has served to expand knowledge about abortion. It has also emerged as an effective strategy to increase access to services and to articulate different institutions to decrease access barriers.
