This September 28, the Global Day of Action for Access to Safe and Legal Abortion, WGNRR is calling on our members, partners and allies to #BustTheMyths surrounding abortion and fight #AbortionStigma and discrimination!
Join us in emphasizing the positive realities derived from access to safe and legal abortion, the beneficial changes at individual, communal, and societal levels that abortion access has brought about in countries worldwide, and the importance of abortion as an essential social good and a human right!
El Salvador has one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the world, with abortion criminalized in all cases, even when the woman’s life or health is at risk, or in cases of rape or incest. One of the most serious consequences of the total ban is the incarceration and wrongful imprisonment of numbers of women who have suffered pregnancy-related complications and miscarriages. The total ban has also fed and perpetuated the widespread proliferation of abortion-related stigma. Produced, reproduced and reinforced at individual, community, institutional, cultural, and legal levels, abortion stigma has particularly grave impacts in restrictive settings, not only on those who may seek an abortion or are suspected of having an abortion, but also on WHRDs who work to defend sexual and reproductive rights.
