The YP Foundation aims to equip young people with evidence-based and factually accurate information on safe abortion and engage them in generating evidence that is grounded in their lived experiences as well as identifying and assessing gaps in service delivery, providers’ attitudes and accessibility of abortion services from a young person’s perspective. This report aims to analyse the evidence on the status of abortion services for young people generated by 10 Fellows from seven states of India who were onboarded and trained to conduct audits of abortion facilities in their respective districts. The total of 54 audits were conducted in 10 locations across 7 states of India. Out of 54 facilities, 32 were private and 21 were government-owned.

The primary objective of the research study is to map the youth-firendliness of abortion facilities and service providers by making a qualitative assessment the responsiveness, attitude, accessibility of the abortion providers and the authorities involved as well as by identifying potential barriers.
