SiX and O’Neill Institute Global Legal
Comparison Reports

SiX and the O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law have compiled a series of global legal comparison reports highlighting trends in abortion law and policy around the world, and situating the United States within the broader global context. Each of the reports below summarizes global public health standards, international human rights norms, and legislative and jurisprudential trends. While not intended to be comprehensive of all international law, these reports aim to increase visibility of approaches used to expand access to abortion care around the world.
