'''Women on Waves''' ('''WoW''') is a Dutch nongovernmental organization ([[Non-governmental organization|NGO]]) created in 1999 by Dutch [[physician]] [[Rebecca Gomperts]], in order to bring [[reproductive health]] services, particularly non-surgical [[abortion]] services and education, to women in countries with restrictive abortion laws.<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal|last=Lambert-Beatty|first=Carrie|date=2008|title=Twelve miles: Boundaries of the new art/activism|journal=Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society|volume=34|issue=1|pages=309–327|doi=10.1086/588446|issn=0097-9740}}</ref> Other services offered by WoW include [[contraception]], individual reproductive counseling, workshops, and education about unwanted pregnancy.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last=Best|first=Alyssa|date=September 2005|title=Abortion Rights along the Irish-English Border and the Liminality of Women's Experiences|journal=Dialectical Anthropology|volume=29|issue=3–4|pages=423–437|doi=10.1007/s10624-005-3863-x|s2cid=145318165|issn=0304-4092}}</ref> Workshops are conducted for lawyers, doctors, artists, writers,<ref name=":1" /> public health care activists, as well as for women and men to learn about contraceptive practices and non-surgical, [[self-induced abortion]] using [[Mifepristone|RU-486]] ([[medication abortion]]).<ref name=":2">Whitten, Diana. 2014.

The A-Portable was designed by the Dutch studio [[Atelier van Lieshout]] and functions as both medical clinic and art installation.<ref name=":1" />
Women on Waves volunteers and personnel have been targeted by governmental authorities, religious organizations, and local groups who are opposed to abortion and/or contraception.<ref name=":1" /> The NGO is credited for reviving debates about abortion in the countries where Women on Waves visits.<ref name=":1" />

Gomperts has faced considerable opposition to Women on Waves. The 2014 documentary ''[[Vessel (film)|Vessel]]'' shows [[Anti-abortion movements|anti-abortion protesters]] in [[Poland]] calling her a Nazi in a chant, and in [[Spain]] trying to tow the Women on Waves vessel back out to sea.<ref>{{cite AV media |people= |last=Whitten |first=Diana |date=2014 |title=Vessel |url=https://vesselthefilm.com/ |trans-title= |format= |work= |type= |language= |location= |publisher= |time= |access-date=}}</ref>
==Rebecca Gomperts== [[File:Rebeca Gompers Lodz 2017 by Jarek Sawiuk. cropped.jpg|thumb|Rebecca Gomperts, [[Łódź]], Poland, 2017]] {{main|Rebecca Gomperts}} [[Rebecca Gomperts]] is a physician in general practice, artist and women's rights activist. Born in 1966, Gomperts grew up in the port town of [[Vlissingen]], the Netherlands. She moved to Amsterdam in the 1980s where she studied art and medicine simultaneously.<ref name="Corbett">{{Citation | last =Corbett | first =Sara | date = 26 August 2001| title =Rebecca Gomperts Is Trying to Save the World for Abortion | location =NY | url =https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E07E4D91E3EF935A1575BC0A9679C8B63| newspaper =The New York Times }}</ref> Drawing on her experiences as a resident physician on the Greenpeace vessel [[Rainbow Warrior (1957)|''Rainbow Warrior II'']], which was captained by Bart J. Terwiel, Gomperts created WoW in order to address the health issues created by [[abortion|illegal abortion]]. While visiting Latin America on board the Rainbow Warrior II, the organization was inspired by a desire to further facilitate social change and women's health. In some developing countries, as many as 800 illegal, unsafe abortions are performed daily, in contrast to some developed nations, such as the Netherlands, where residents have access to safe, legal, medical abortions and contraception. In collaboration with [[Atelier van Lieshout]], she designed a portable [[gynaecology]] unit called "A-portable" that can be installed on chartered ships. The stated goals of the organization are to raise awareness and stimulate discussion about laws restricting [[abortion]], as well as to provide safe, non-surgical abortions for women who live in countries where abortion is illegal.<ref name="FERRY">{{Citation | last =Ferry | first =Julie | date =14 November 2007 | title =The abortion ship's doctor | location =UK | newspaper =Guardian | url =https://www.theguardian.com/women/story/0,,2210593,00.html |access-date=2008-11-14}}</ref>
== The A-Portable == The mobile gynecological clinic was designed and named by Dutch artist and sculptor [[Atelier van Lieshout]]. Known as the A-Portable, the clinic is in a retrofitted shipping container. It is painted a light blue color with the Women on Waves logo painted on the sides.<ref name=":1" /> To travel, the shipping container is strapped onto ships registered in the Netherlands, and rented by Women on Waves, which is a nongovernmental organization (NGO). Lambert-Beatty describes the logo, which was designed by Kees Ryter in 2001: [the clinic's] "side is emblazoned with a purple spot on which, in turn, floats an orange shape outlined in pink: a squared cross, one quickly realizes, of the kind that symbolizes humanitarian and medical aid."<ref name=":1" /> p. 309
The clinic is a fully functional gynecological clinic offering contraceptive counseling, sonograms, and medical and surgery abortions. It is generally staffed with two physicians and a nurse. Trained volunteers also staff the ship to provide education and counseling. The ship's crew is nearly all female.<ref name=":1" /> In ports in countries that allow it, the ship's staff provide workshops on legal and medical issues.<ref name=":1" /> During visits to countries with restrictive laws, the ship travels into international waters, usually about 12 miles from land, in order to provide services.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" />
The A-Portable functions as a medical clinic, but is also considered to be a work of art. The original funds to create the A-Portable were awarded by the Mondriaan Foundation, which is a Dutch "publicly financed fund for visual art and cultural heritage."<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.mondriaanfonds.nl/en/about/|title=About - Mondriaan Fund|work=Mondriaan Fund|access-date=2018-06-08}}</ref> It appeared in Portugal at the Ute Meta Bauer's Women Building Exhibition; in Amsterdam at the Mediamatic art space;<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.mediamatic.net/en/page/8963/women-on-waves|title=Women on Waves|website=Mediamatic|access-date=2018-06-08}}</ref> and in ''Artforum.''<ref name=":1" /> Lambert-Beatty notes that [[Claire Bishop]], an art historian, critic, and professor of art, interprets the A-Portable as "new political art."<ref name=":1" /><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Bishop|first=Claire|date=2006|title=The social turn: Collaboration and its discontents|journal=Artforum International|volume=44|issue=6|pages=178–83}}</ref>
==Voyages== In 2002, after contentious debate in the [[States General of the Netherlands|Dutch parliament]], The Netherlands' Minister of Health, [[Els Borst]], gave permission to medical personnel on board the Women on Waves ship to offer pregnant women [[Mifepristone|RU-486]], known colloquially as the abortion pill, on board their boat, ''Aurora''.<ref name=":0" /> According to Borst, the decision was in line with the Dutch government's policy on the issue of sexual independence of women. The permission was given on the condition that the abortion pill would only be used to terminate pregnancies of up to nine weeks and would be provided in the presence of a [[gynaecologist]].<ref>{{cite news|author1=Geraldine Coughlan|title=Legal boost for Dutch abortion ship|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/2080992.stm|publisher=BBC|date=2 July 2002}}</ref>
[[Abortion]] and [[Abortion law|reproductive laws]] only extend as far as national borders, including nautical borders.

On that journey, they were not allowed to do surgical or medical abortions, and were limited by Dutch law to provide only information on contraceptives, and not the contraceptives themselves.<ref name=":0" /> The ship had been invited by Irish abortion rights organizations which coordinated a publicity campaign in advance of the ''Aurora's'' arrival. The ship anchored at Dublin Port, and traveled into international waters to provide educational services as Ireland's law prohibited discussion about abortion and contraceptives. During the ship's visit to Dublin Port, approximately 300 women participated. All of the ship's services were provided for free.<ref name=":0" />
In 2016, Women on Waves collaborated with pro-abortion group to use drones and speed boats to deliver abortion pills to women in Northern Ireland.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/abortion-drone-women-web-delivers-pills-northern-ireland-n596176|title=Abortion by Air: Drone Delivers Pills Across Border to Northern Ireland|work=NBC News|access-date=2018-06-08}}</ref>

===Spain=== In 2008, Women on Waves' ship landed in [[Valencia]], Spain, where it had a mixed reception. Some demonstrators supported the group, others opposed it. According to [[Catholic News Agency]],<blockquote> "On 18 October a group of 40 feminists gathered to counter the pro-life protests, which brought out four times as many people. They passed out boxes of matches with the picture of a burning church and the caption, 'The only church that brings light is the one that burns. Join us!'
On 19 October the feminists met again to distribute matches but decided to disband after they were overwhelmed by the large number of pro-life protesters who gathered at the port where the abortion ship was docked."
</blockquote> As the ship attempted to dock amid protesters on both sides of the issue, harbor patrol agents in a small boat lassoed a rope around the helm of the ship and attempted to pull it away from the dock.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.vesselthefilm.com | title=HOME}}</ref>
