This September 28 Day for the Decriminalization of Abortion in Latin America. In Ecuador, a group of women showed up outside the Prosecutor of Pichincha with their bodies discovered demanding the decriminalization of abortion, also showed solidarity with the Women's Health Collective 098301317, information line on safe abortion with drugs, which was closed by the prosecution last Sept. 12, violating their right to provide information (Article 18 Constitution of Ecuador). In our country the majority of women are poor and are exposed to unsafe abortions in secrecy and illegality, because the penalty abortion does not prevent women having abortions but exposes them to a black market that profits from their bodies and their desires. Demanding and require the Ecuadorian government and relevant authorities to decriminalize abortion in all its forms to ensure their rights.
The intention is also to open a debate on the reality front of abortion, leaving women at the center of this debate, that society begins to respect the decisions of women understand that this is a decision solely on them and that the State must ensure their health and life.
