In these countries, the prevalence of contraception remains low, and situation makes the bed of unwanted pregnancies leading easily to the induced abortions. The objective was to determine frequency of clandestine induced abortions and to know the motivations of women that practice these abortions in order to find a solution to minimize this practice.

Every patient having practiced a documented induced abortion and having agreed to participate in the survey was included. Results: During the survey period, we recorded 94 cases of clandestine induced abortions among 2759 deliveries giving a frequency of 3.4%. The age group between 20 - 24 years was the most represented with 42.7%. The average age was 25.4 years, with the extremes ranging from 15 to 42 years. Singles (66%) dominated marital status. Sixty patients (63.9%) were of secondary. These patients were for the most part students or pupils (55.3%). Concerning the parity, nulliparous were the most numerous to practice the abortion (40.5%). More than half our patients (58.7%) knew no contraceptive method. The principal reason evoked to realize the abortion was further studies (38.2%). Means of abortion most used was the misoprostol (36 cases that is 38.2%). In this series, we observed 29 cases of complications, which is 30.8%.
