Activists Silvia Adalvert from the Associació de Drets Sexuals i Reproductius and Selene Alberich from the Assemblea Vaga Feminista de Les Terres de l'Ebre outline improvements in access and care they would like to see, while one woman, Júlia, shares her experience of seeking an abortion in Catalonia.

This week’s Catalan phrase is ‘no caure els anells’. Literally, ‘the rings don’t drop’, it is used when someone is not afraid of doing some hard work.
