Thousands of women in Latin American cities call for abortion rights
29 September 2023, 08:24
In Mexico, Argentina and other countries, women marked International Safe Abortion Day.
The streets of cities across Latin America have been bathed in green as tens of thousands of women marched to commemorate International Safe Abortion Day.
Latin American feminists have spent decades fighting to roll back strict prohibitions, although there are still few countries with a total ban, like El Salvador and Dominican Republic.
In Mexico on Thursday, marchers celebrated the recent decision by Mexico’s supreme court to decriminalise abortions at the federal level.
In Argentina, marchers had a more sombre tone, worrying that the strength of a populist far-right presidential candidate going into elections in October could signal peril after years of work by feminists.
