50 years of the period: Exhibition shows the struggle for rights in Vienna

Hamburgerstraße 14, 1050 Wien, Österreich - In 2025, the introduction of the deadline regulation in Austria marks the first time. 50 years ago, this regulation was anchored in the Criminal Code and allows pregnancy abortions in the first three months. The goal was to offer an unintentionally pregnant way to demolish your pregnancy. On the occasion of this anniversary, the #Usprinzip network organizes an exhibition entitled "Look at the Principal", which informs about the medical and legal aspects of the abortions in Austria.

The exhibition, which was created in cooperation with students from the Vienna University of Economic Affairs, will take place in the spectacle in Vienna from June 18 to 24, 2025. The visit is free of charge and does not require pre -registration. The opening times are different: Thursday, Saturday and Sunday from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m., Friday and Monday and Tuesday from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. The vernissage takes place on June 18, 2025 at 6 p.m., with media representatives invited to participate. Registration is required to hello@ausprinzip.at.

demands of the network

50 years after the introduction of the deadline regulation, the network #Usprinzip is committed to improvements in the care of unintentionally pregnant. The central demands include, among other things, a punitive, free and close -place access to abortions. These aspects are crucial for women's reproduction rights and ensuring their health care.

comparison to Germany

In Germany, around 100,000 abortions are registered annually, with the number in 2022 with almost 104,000 had a slight increase compared to previous years. The legal framework there are similar, but the access requirements are stringent. A punishment -free demolition according to § 218a StGB requires official advice in state -recognized pregnancy conflict advice centers, while the demolition must take place within 12 weeks of conception. In the case of medical or criminological indications, demolition is also possible later. This regulation is intended to ensure that women can make an informed choice.

In Germany, unmarried women represent the majority of abortion, and the most common demolition method is the vacuum aspiration, which is mostly carried out on an outpatient basis. Despite the legal provisions and the fact that access to safe abortions in Germany remains difficult for many women, the country is comparatively low in a European comparison with 5.4 abortions per 1,000 women.

The topics of abortions are sensitive and complex, both in Austria and in Germany. The upcoming exhibition in Vienna offers the opportunity to find out more about the applicable laws and conditions and to illuminate the current Situation for unintentionally pregnant women. It aims to raise awareness of the challenges and the need for better access.
