Facebook Takedown: @WomenHelpWomen
📅 Date: November 2025
📍 Region: Global
📱 Platform: Facebook
🔗 Account: @WomenHelpWomen
In November 2025, Facebook suddenly removed @WomenHelpWomen without clear justification or meaningful warning.
Women Help Women is the international feminist organisation working to expand access to abortion worldwide. Their team of trained counsellors, medical professionals, activists, and researchers across four continents supports self-managed abortion, particularly in contexts where access is restricted by law, stigma, or lack of services. Their work includes a global telehealth service providing information, support, and abortion pills, along with partnerships with local feminist groups to increase access to abortion care.
The account had more than 33,000 followers and was averaging 16,643 views per month. Through resharing, community distribution, and peer-to-peer networks, their information reached an estimated 80,000–120,000 people each month, helping connect hundreds of thousands of women in need of care to reliable abortion and reproductive health information over time.
This page was regularly targeted by hostile comments and repeated reports, and we have strong reason to believe this ongoing pattern of coordinated mass reporting contributed to the account’s removal.
For many, this account was a lifeline, offering practical, accurate information and direct support as a trusted first point of care.
After the takedown, appeals were submitted. Facebook’s responses were vague and opaque, reinforcing broader concerns about the lack of transparency, institutional accountability, or memory when the same organisations are repeatedly targeted.
This is part of a growing global pattern in which Big Tech platforms suppress abortion, reproductive health, and gender-justice content. When these accounts disappear, entire networks lose access to information, care, safety, and support.
