Donor funding gaps are limiting access to contraceptives for women and girls in Liberia, raising concerns about unsafe abortions. A 16-year-old student named Beatrice traveled three hours to a health foundation for a free contraceptive injection but was told it was out of stock, and a nearby clinic had also run out. She fears she may have to buy contraceptives from private pharmacies, which are too expensive for many in her community. The funding shortfall is increasing the risk of unintended pregnancies and unsafe abortions.
