Women on Waves is a Dutch non-profit organization. Its mission is to prevent unwanted pregnancy and unsafe abortions throughout the world.
Women on Waves sails to countries where abortion is illegal, at the invitation of local women’s organizations. On the ship - where Dutch laws are in effect - early medical abortions are provided safely, professionally and legally.
WoW has so far sailed to Ireland, Poland, Portugal, Ecuador and Spain.
WoW also provide online abortion services for women in countries where abortion is illegal. The organization recently opened abortion hotlines in Ecuador, Chile and Argentina.
Nearly 70 000 women die every year due to unsafe abortions. Between 2 - 7 million women survive but sustain long-term damages.

The Prize Doesn’t Always Go To The Most Deserving
Irena Sendler
1910-2008
A 98 year-old German woman named Irena Sendler recently died. During WWII, Irena worked in the Warsaw Ghetto as a plumbing/sewer specialist. Irena smuggled Jewish children out; infants in the bottom of the tool box she carried and older children in a burlap sack she carried in the back of her truck. She also had a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto. The soldiers wanted nothing to do with the dog, and the barking covered the kids’ and infants’ noises. Irena managed to smuggle out and save 2500 children. She eventually was caught, and the Nazis broke both her legs, arms and beat her severely. Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled out and kept them in a glass jar buried under a tree in her backyard. After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived and reunited some of the families. Most had been killed. She helped those children get placement into foster family homes or adopted.
Last year Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize. She was not selected. Al Gore won - for a slide show on Global Warming.
