Although abortion is legally treated as a standard medical procedure in Canada, the landscape of abortion access in Manitoba remains shaped by social, political, and geographic realities. People across the province continue to encounter barriers such as long travel distances, limited appointment availability, lack of local providers, abortion an stigma, among other challenges. Collectively, these challenges shape access to abortion care in Manitoba as fragmented, inconsistent, and highly dependent on context. 

The Abortion in Manitoba project was developed to document the realities of those who have sought access to abortion care in the province. Drawing on survey responses and narrative interviews, the community report highlights key barriers, sources of support, and gaps in care across all stages of the abortion experience. The findings and recommendations aim to inform policy, healthcare practice, and community advocacy, and to support more equitable, accessible, and just abortion care in Manitoba.
