Administrative history

Women's Abortion Campaign (WAC) was a not-for-profit activist group that campaigned for the decriminalisation of abortion in Queensland, access to free and safe abortion, and sex education in schools through lobbying, rallies, and information-sharing. It was based in West End, Brisbane, and received funding largely from donations and membership subscriptions. An earlier iteration of the Women's Abortion Campaign was the Women's Campaign for Abortion (WCA), which formed in 1979 but disbanded around 1986. WCA then re-established in April 1991 as WAC, after individuals interested in abortion matters in Queensland began meeting again from 1989. WAC disbanded between the late 1990s and early 2000s.
