Overview
This qualitative study examines barriers to safe abortion care among women in Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps in Ethiopia using the Social Ecological Model (SEM). Data were collected through in-depth and key informant interviews with displaced women, healthcare providers, community leaders, NGO representatives, and policymakers. The findings reveal multi-level challenges, including personal and structural barriers, where cultural and religious beliefs, financial constraints, and limited education prevent women from access to safe abortion care. Social networks and healthcare providers play a critical role, with unsupportive partners and providers’ moral objections worsening the situation. Community stigma and social norms perpetuate misinformation and isolation, while societal barriers such as inadequate healthcare infrastructure and policy gaps further limit access. Urgent, coordinated action is critical. The Ministry of Health, humanitarian organizations, and local leaders must expand healthcare access, ensure legal protections, combat Sexual and Gender Based violence, and dismantle stigma. Without urgent intervention, displaced women will continue facing life-threatening risks. Cette étude qualitative examine les obstacles à l'avortement médicalisé chez les femmes vivant dans des camps de personnes déplacées à l'intérieur du pays (PDI) en Éthiopie, à l'aide du Modèle Écologique Social (MES). Les données ont été recueillies lors d'entretiens approfondis avec des informateurs clés auprès de femmes déplacées, de prestataires de soins de santé, de dirigeants communautaires, de représentants d'ONG et de décideurs politiques. Les résultats révèlent des difficultés à plusieurs niveaux, notamment des obstacles personnels et structurels, où les croyances culturelles et religieuses, les contraintes financières et le manque d'éducation empêchent les femmes d'accéder à un avortement médicalisé. Les réseaux sociaux et les prestataires de soins de santé jouent un rôle crucial, le manque de soutien des partenaires et les objections morales des prestataires aggravant la situation. La stigmatisation communautaire et les normes sociales perpétuent la désinformation et l'isolement, tandis que les obstacles sociétaux, tels que l'insuffisance des infrastructures de santé et les lacunes politiques, limitent encore davantage l'accès. Une action urgente et coordonnée est essentielle. Le ministère de la Santé, les organisations humanitaires et les dirigeants locaux doivent élargir l'accès aux soins de santé, garantir une protection juridique, lutter contre les violences sexuelles et sexistes et mettre fin à la stigmatisation. Sans une intervention urgente, les femmes déplacées continueront d'être exposées à des risques mortels.
