Italy Blocks Reproductive Health Websites Women on Web and Women Help Women

# Summary Italy's major Internet Service Providers, including Fastweb, Vodafone Italia, and Sky Italia, began blocking access to Women on Web and Women Help Women—websites that provide reproductive health information and abortion access—in mid-February 2026 using DNS tampering and redirection techniques. At least six ISPs implemented the concurrent blocking across both domains, affecting millions of Italian internet users. The blocking was documented by OONI (Open Observatory of Network Interference), an internet censorship monitoring organization.
