Background: In 2019, the Institute of Public Opinion of “Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú”, by request of the NGO PROMSEX carried out a nationwide survey to calculate the frequency of abortion among women in Perú. Their objective was to have solid information that could support advocacy for abortion in a setting with high legal restrictions to this procedure. Our team at Continental University has secondarily analyzed this data.   Methods and Sampling: A probabilistic, multistage, and stratified sampling by socioeconomic level was carried out. A total of 2400 women between 18 and 49 years old were included in the sample. The survey was carried out using the Ballot Box method, which has been previously used in other settings to explore stigmatizing topics reducing social desirability bias.   Findings: We estimate that approximately 19.25% of surveyed women had at least one abortion in their lifetimes. About 11.99% of women were under-aged (under 18 years old) when they had the first or only abortion reported; 43.37% were between 18 and 24 years old; 28.32% were between 25 and 30 years old, and 16.33% were 31 years or older. Moreover, 42.34% of women who have had an abortion did not attend a health provider to undergo the procedure.   Discussion: Despite the legal restrictions that Perú has for abortion, this is not an uncommon practice among women in the country. Women who were under 25 years old when they had their first abortion accounted for the largest group and more than three-quarters of the first abortion occurred when women were under 25. Most women did not visit a health provider to undergo the abortion, which suggests that they looked for alternatives to access this procedure.
