- Description
- This report describes the consequences of the rejection by the Argentinian senate of a 2018 bill for decriminalization of abortion. Human Rights Watch documented cases of women and girls who have, since then, encountered several barriers to access legal abortion and post-abortion care. The barriers include arbitrarily imposed gestational limits, lack of access to and availability of abortion methods, fear of criminal prosecution, stigmatization and mistreatment by health professionals. It provides several government recommendations.
