  abstract = {{C}ambodia's current abortion rate and ratio could be among the highest in {S}outheast {A}sia. {I}n 1997, the {C}ambodian parliament passed the first law regulating abortions. {T}his law was adopted to contribute to reduce the high maternal mortality ratio, as a significant number of maternal deaths were believed to be related to complications of unsafe abortion. {A} decade later, the {M}inistry of {H}ealth had not yet established medical protocols for safe abortion access and women often continued to induce their own terminations or seek unsafe services. {H}owever, in 2009, the {C}ambodian authorities approved the importation and distribution of one manufactured abortion pill. {I}n addition, manual vacuum abortions and medical abortion training programmes were implemented at the referral hospital level. {H}ow has this situation come about? {W}hat do we know about the local agencies of the transnational reproductive health policies related to safe abortion access in this country? {T}his paper aims to analyse how history and intersections between global interventions, state policies, local moralities and individual strategies shape abortion policies, practices and technologies. {F}inally, our findings raise some issues for public health programming.},
