Abortion is generally illegal in Swaziland. According to Section 15(5) of the eSwatini Constitution, there are some rare instances when abortion is permitted, which is when pregnancy constitutes a serious threat to the health of the mother, if there is serious risk of malformation of the baby, or if the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest. However, there is little evidence of people successfully receiving legal abortion procedures in the country.<ref name=":0">https://www.newframe.com/eswatini-needs-to-talk-about-illegal-abortions/</ref> Swaziland is a religious, traditional country, and abortion is usually a taboo subject.<ref name=":0" /> | |||
Despite these hurdles, people still do seek clandestine abortion providers in Swaziland. One doctor at Raleigh Fitkin Memorial Hospital estimated that they see four women per day due to incomplete or botched abortion procedures. The Health Management and Information System of eSwatini will not provide public data on mortality rates due to abortion procedures, according to a 2020 report.<ref name=":0" /> | |||
There are now specific laws regarding how to deal with offenders, but cases brought to the High Court usually give offenders five year prison sentences. Cases brought to the Supreme Court typically reduce sentences to three years.<ref name=":0" /> | |||
