Equality Bahamas Co-Director : Abortion Is Healthcare (Our News)
Alicia Wallace, Co-Director of Equality Bahamas, responding to the repeated sentiment that abortion law reform will remain unaddressed unless there’s outcry to address decriminalizing abortion.
She says the current framework does nothing but worsen the pressure on already vulnerable groups.
Wallace hopes those who lack sympathy for women, can at least extend their sympathy to young girls. But for now, that is not the case in Bahamian law.

From International Campaign for Women’s Right to Safe Abortion:
Alicia Wallace, director of Equality Bahamas, interviewed on Eyewitness News on 19 August, regarding the case of
an 11-year-old girl impregnated by her mother’s boyfriend, said:
“I have seen no evidence that this country is sympathetic to the needs or suffering of women and girls in this country. We are far behind in getting this done. Abortion is healthcare. It is a critical form of healthcare that should be made available to everyone who needs access to it, not only in situations of rape and incest, though obviously those are very difficult situations and definitely necessitate the availability of safe abortion for survivors.”

From The Tribune:
Alicia Wallace, director of Equality Bahamas, said given the degree of gender-based violence in The Bahamas, it is “ridiculous and inhumane to expect women or children to suffer through unwanted pregnancies”.
“There is absolutely no reason to criminalise a child or the people who helped her to access critical healthcare that likely saved her life, preventing further physical and mental harm,” she said on Wednesday.
“Survivors ought not suffer additional trauma caused by the action or inaction of the government that fails to prevent violence against them.”
