Abortion in Latin America Today: Laws, Access & the Green Wave

Описание: What does abortion access look like across Latin America right now? This video explains today’s legal landscape, where abortion is decriminalized or regulated (Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Uruguay), where it’s allowed only in limited circumstances (e.g., Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Paraguay, Panama, Bolivia, Venezuela, Costa Rica), and where total bans remain (El Salvador, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Nicaragua). It also highlights health impacts of unsafe abortion (WHO), inequities affecting Indigenous and Black women, and how medical abortion (misoprostol, now commonly with mifepristone) enables safe, self-managed care at suitable gestational ages. Finally, we spotlight feminist movements and acompañantes that are changing laws, access, and stigma.
