LUNA is the umbrella organisation of Dutch-speaking abortion centres in Belgium. Welcome to our website. The site provides a clear overview of the work that we do, by offering information on abortion legislation; the different abortion methods; a glossary of useful terms and an FAQ section (Frequently Asked Questions).
The “Central Coordination Unit for Dutch-speaking Abortion Centres” [Centrale Coördinatie van de Nederlandstalige Abortuscentra] was set up in the year 2000, ten years after abortion became legal in Belgium. Since then, its name has been changed to LUNA, which stands for “the Union of Dutch-speaking Abortion Centres” [Unie Nederlandstalige Abortuscentra].
This umbrella, not-for-profit organisation coordinates the work and activities of all of the Dutch-speaking abortion centres, reinforces solidarity across the whole network and offers the registered centres a wealth of support. Regular consultation, exchanges of views, study days for staff, a common information pack and indeed this website are all part of the joint platform created for and by all of the centres together.
A further aim of this website is to provide you, as a woman whose pregnancy is unplanned or unwanted, with information and support that is as comprehensive and professional as possible.
Of course it goes without saying that you can also get in touch with one of our registered centres to receive advice and take action. LUNA strives tirelessly to guarantee expert advice and support for each individual patient from the very first appointment right through to any necessary follow-up care.
