It is okay to share your abortion experience. . It is okay to open up, telling people about your abortion. It might be that it makes you feel powerful and strong. Or you want to share your abortion because it helps you process. It might also be that you just want to show that having an abortion is normal. You do not have to keep it to yourself.
You can talk to relatives and friends, including them in your experience. If you do not feel comfortable with that, there are also ways to share your story anonymously on abortion community platforms. Some examples include:
- The Humanistisch Verbond is organising discussion groups guided by professionals for people who had an abortion (in Dutch)
- FIOM is organizing discussion groups guided by professionals for people who had an abortion (in Dutch)
- Private Facebook groups with people who had an abortion (e.g., Abortus community, Abortus nazorg community, etc.) (in Dutch)
- In Open over abortus, you can share your story anonymously and read stories from others (in Dutch)
“I am very happy with my dear friend, parents and everyone around me who have supported me and still do. By sharing it with others, I have been able to process it more.”

“This has been almost 4 years now and I have never regretted the decision. The only thing I regret is that I didn't talk about it enough. Fortunately, it is never too late to do so.”
