What can I do to prevent pregnancy

Pregnancy can be prevented if you act quickly and use emergency family planning. You must use it as soon as possible, but no later than 3 days after the rape.

IMPORTANT: In some countries, abortion is safe and legal if a girl or woman has been raped. Ask a health worker or women’s organization if this is true in your country.
