The Federal Court of Australia has ruled that a Somali refugee on Nauru will be allowed to travel to Australia for an abortion.
The woman, who is 12 weeks pregnant has been on Nauru for almost five years and is a victim of female genital mutilation.
The government considered sending the woman to Taiwan, however Federal Court Justice Alan Robertson ruled that no Taiwanese Obstetricians or Gynaecologists were experienced in performing abortions on women with female genital mutilation.
