A Way To Remember, Grieve and Love

"Through my own abortion experience I have come to realise many women feel the sameβ€”that it can be difficult to gain any sense of closure. There is no grave to visit, no tangible way of remembering. Until now.” - Marina Young (Founder, Buttons Project, New Zealand)



A Step Towards Healing After Abortion

An abortion affects each person differently. For many who are affected by abortion, they may find it hard to express their pain. Grieving over the loss due to an abortion is often endured in the silence of one’s room.

At Buttons Project, we create a safe space for you to grieve by sending in a button to represent the baby whom you have not met.

Buttons Memorial Wall

Each button represents a baby we have not met due to abortion. We hope to enable anyone affected by abortion, not only women but also fathers, grandparents and siblings, to have a tangible way of commemorating these babies.

For some, it will be a way of simply remembering, for others a step on the journey of healing. Some buttons come with stories, some don't. All of them will be displayed on our virtual memorial wall.

Together we create a memorial. To remember, to grieve, to love. What happened matters.
