This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (qualitative). The objectives are as follows:

This QES aims to address the following question:

What are the lived experiences and perceptions of abortion seekers (i.e. pregnant women, transgender men, and non-binary people of any gender) traveling to obtain care?

The review objectives are to:

• synthesize the qualitative evidence to address the review question;

• identify factors that influence abortion travel experiences and perspectives, which may include the specific abortion regulatory and care delivery context (e.g. legal restrictions, unavailability) and abortion seekers’ personal circumstances (e.g. age, race/ethnicity, gender, partnership status, gestational duration, social/family support, income/wealth).
