Legal and Safe Abortion
Why the Global Day of Action for Legal and Safe Abortion is commemorated every September 29
The date of September 28 was chosen in 1990 at a feminist meeting that took place in Argentina. From the south of the American continent, the cry of denunciation was raised against the deaths and insecurity of clandestine abortion that historically hit very hard in Latin America.
Campaigns for legal abortion are historic, but in the last 30 years more than 60 countries across the continent have modified their legislation to allow access to safe abortion. One of the main reasons is to stop hiding something that is happening despite restrictive and penalizing laws.
