Millions of women and girls globally have lost access to contraceptives and abortion services because of the pandemic. India with its abrupt, months-long lockdown has been hit especially hard.

Across 37 countries, nearly 2 million fewer women received services between January and June than in the same period last year, Marie Stopes International says in a new report — 1.3 million in India alone. It expects 9,00,000 unintended pregnancies worldwide as a result, along with 1.5 million unsafe abortions and more than 3,000 maternal deaths.
