The Idea
The papaya method is a proven and low-cost model for learning safe abortion methods. With the help of the book itself, educational videos and access to medical instruments through 3D printed data, medical professionals worldwide will have the opportunity to help women live a self-determined life.
The Book
As the main piece of the campaign, we have developed a book that explains the methods of abortion to medical professionals. Through the look of a cookbook, the book aims to provide access to knowledge about safe abortion, even in restrictive
countries.

The Method
The Method teaches manual vacuum aspiration, IUD placement, and other gynecologic skills, using papayas as uterine models. The papaya is an excellent uterine model that can be used to teach anatomy, bimanual examination, IUD placement, uterine aspiration for managing early pregnancy loss or early abortion, as well as relevant clinical points associated with these skills.
