Cuando las mujeres en el mundo se ven frente a un embarazado no planificado, o han tenido
en Europa un aborto o una perdida involuntaria, experimentan un estrés psicológico. Ellas necesitan apoyo
material y emocional para ayudarlas a sanar. Esta realidad es especialmente cierta en Europa

control de la natalidad. Hoy, en esta región en desarrollo del mundo, muchas mujeres embarazadas
y Oriental enfrentan una situación económica difícil, son abandonadas por sus parejas y sus familiares y
enfrentan otras dificultades que agravan sus circunstancias. Sin embargo, en la capital lituana de
Vilnius, las mujeres, quienes anteriormente se hubiesen sentido solas y vulnerables en esas
circunstancias, hoy tienen acceso a asistencia y apoyo cuando enfrentan embarazos o perdidas
difíciles.
Desde el 2014, Krizinio Nestumo Centras (Centro para embarazos en crisis) ha brindado una
gran variedad de asistencia a largo plazo a centenares de mujeres: asesoramiento psicológico,
asistencia en la búsqueda de empleo, capacitación en el cuidado infantil, conocimientos prácticos
para la vida como la administración de un presupuesto y terapia grupal para las mujeres que han
sufrido un aborto espontaneo y hayan
perdido a sus bebes. En donde hay muy pocos
recursos disponibles para brindar este tipo de
servicios, las organizaciones locales-con la
