Unsafe Abortion is one of the leading causes of maternal death. The unhygienic and dangerous practice has been encountered in various geographical areas of Nepal. Despite its legalization, many women are still being not concerned and well informed regarding safe abortion and become victims of it. The main aim of this study was to assess the knowledge and practice regarding safe abortion among married women of reproductive (14 to 49) years of an underprivileged group of low resource country, Nepal.
