Minister must act now to allow Nauru rape victim access to safe and legal abortion
The Australian Greens have urged the Prime Minister and his Immigration Minister to act urgently to bring a young refugee woman allegedly raped on Nauru to Australia so she can terminate her unwanted pregnancy.
"Mr Turnbull needs to pull his Immigration Minister into line and get this woman they help and care she urgently needs," Greens Immigration spokesperson Senator Sarah Hanson-Young said today.
"Abortion is illegal on Nauru and the only option this young woman has for a safe and legal termination is to be brought to Australia.
