The Netherlands has launched an online fundraiser to compensate for US President Donald Trump's decision to cut funding to foreign charities that support abortion.
The foreign ministry announced it would kick-start the new site, shedecides.eu, with a donation of 10 million euros (A$14.17 million).
Mr Trump's decree to ban funding for abortions, signed on Monday, was one of the first acts of his presidency.
The day after that decision the Netherlands called for an international fund to support health centres offering abortion services in developing countries.
On its new website the Dutch foreign ministry said it had received "thousands of messages from over 150 countries in 23 languages".
The vast majority of the responses have been positive, "with many indicating a desire to donate to a fund," the statement added.
