This unique advocacy and policy tool provides essential information on the status of contraception in the region.\n\nDuring the event at the Latin American and Caribbean Parliament building in Panama City, experts from the region and representatives of Parlatino discussed opportunities for improvement and sustainable solutions to family planning policies.\n\nAccording to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the adolescent pregnancy rate in LAC is the second highest in the world: on average, one in four adolescents aged 15 to 19 experiences childbirth each year. These alarming figures have a negative impact on the lives of pregnant girls, their families, and entire communities, as unintended pregnancies can lead to health complications, school drop-out, poverty and social exclusion. In this context, launching the Atlas has been a unique opportunity to discuss the importance of preventing unintended pregnancies and the need for effective contraceptive policies and programs in the region.\n\nThe LAC Contraception Policy Atlas benchmarks and evaluates 33 countries\u00a0<\/strong>on political leadership, access to contraceptives, national and international policies, and funding. Across the region, 17 out of 33 countries affirm the fundamental right to choose family size, timing and spacing of children; however, only 7 regulate conscientious objection.\n\nA pressing need is recognized as 26 countries lack user-friendly government websites on contraception. Moreover, 21 countries lack public budget transparency for contraceptives, while a lack of provision for emergency contraception within the public health systems affects 12 countries within the region.\n

\n\n \n\nCiudad de Panam\u00e1, Panam\u00e1 - 18 de septiembre de 2023<\/strong>. El Foro Parlamentario Europeo de Derechos Sexuales y Reproductivos, F\u00f2s Feminista e IPPF Am\u00e9ricas y el Caribe presentaron el primer Atlas de Pol\u00edticas de Anticoncepci\u00f3n de Am\u00e9rica Latina y el Caribe. Esta herramienta \u00fanica de incidencia pol\u00edtica proporciona informaci\u00f3n esencial sobre el estado de la anticoncepci\u00f3n en la regi\u00f3n.\n\nDurante el evento en el edificio del Parlamento Latinoamericano y del Caribe en la Ciudad de Panam\u00e1, expertos de la regi\u00f3n y representantes del Parlatino discutieron oportunidades de mejora y soluciones sostenibles para las pol\u00edticas de planificaci\u00f3n familiar.\n\nSeg\u00fan el Fondo de Poblaci\u00f3n de las Naciones Unidas (UNFPA), la tasa de embarazo en adolescentes en Am\u00e9rica Latina y el Caribe es la segunda m\u00e1s alta del mundo: en promedio, una de cada cuatro adolescentes de 15 a 19 a\u00f1os experimenta un parto cada a\u00f1o. Estas cifras alarmantes tienen un impacto negativo en la vida de las ni\u00f1as embarazadas, sus familias y comunidades enteras, ya que los embarazos no deseados pueden llevar a complicaciones de salud, abandono escolar, pobreza y exclusi\u00f3n social. En este contexto, el lanzamiento del Atlas ha sido una oportunidad \u00fanica para discutir la importancia de prevenir los embarazos no deseados y la necesidad de pol\u00edticas y programas anticonceptivos efectivos en la regi\u00f3n.\n\nEl Atlas de Pol\u00edticas de Anticoncepci\u00f3n de Am\u00e9rica Latina y el Caribe eval\u00faa a 33 pa\u00edses en liderazgo pol\u00edtico, acceso a anticonceptivos, pol\u00edticas nacionales e internacionales y financiamiento. En toda la regi\u00f3n, 17 de los 33 pa\u00edses afirman el derecho fundamental de elegir el tama\u00f1o de la familia, el momento y el espaciamiento de los hijos; sin embargo, solo 7 regulan la objeci\u00f3n de conciencia.\n\nSe reconoce una necesidad apremiante ya que 26 pa\u00edses carecen de sitios web gubernamentales amigables para el usuario sobre anticoncepci\u00f3n. Adem\u00e1s, 21 pa\u00edses carecen de transparencia presupuestaria p\u00fablica para anticonceptivos, mientras que la falta de provisi\u00f3n de anticoncepci\u00f3n de emergencia en los sistemas de salud p\u00fablica afecta a 12 pa\u00edses de la regi\u00f3n.\n
\"Muchos pa\u00edses de la regi\u00f3n a\u00fan carecen de un marco legal s\u00f3lido, una estrategia nacional y un presupuesto espec\u00edfico para anticonceptivos. Estos tres elementos demuestran un compromiso s\u00f3lido con la garant\u00eda de acceso continuo a anticonceptivos. Dos aspectos m\u00e1s clave que todos los pa\u00edses deben considerar son proporcionar informaci\u00f3n p\u00fablica sobre c\u00f3mo acceder a anticonceptivos en el sistema de salud p\u00fablica y asegurarse de que la anticoncepci\u00f3n de emergencia est\u00e9 disponible para todos, especialmente para las mujeres y las ni\u00f1as j\u00f3venes\", dijo Susana Medina, Co-directora de la Unidad de Ecosistema Sostenible de F\u00f2s Feminista.<\/blockquote>\nEl Atlas muestra que, si bien la mayor\u00eda de los pa\u00edses han tomado medidas concretas a nivel de pol\u00edtica para garantizar el acceso a la salud sexual y reproductiva para todes, se debe hacer m\u00e1s para fortalecer los mecanismos existentes y alcanzar los compromisos enumerados en el Consenso de Montevideo sobre Poblaci\u00f3n y Desarrollo, que cumpli\u00f3 diez a\u00f1os en agosto de 2023.\n
\"A pesar de los logros alcanzados en la regi\u00f3n, la pandemia de COVID-19 nos retrocedi\u00f3 casi dos d\u00e9cadas. Eso significa que el compromiso con el acceso a anticonceptivos y las inversiones financieras deben ser a\u00fan mayores que antes. El compromiso tambi\u00e9n debe incluir el avance de la educaci\u00f3n integral en sexualidad, que es clave para informar a les j\u00f3venes sobre los anticonceptivos\", dijo el Dr. Pio Ivan Gomez, Asesor M\u00e9dico de F\u00f2s Feminista durante el evento en Panam\u00e1.<\/blockquote>\nEl Atlas tiene como objetivo guiar las pol\u00edticas al involucrar a tomadores de decisiones, la sociedad civil, los medios de comunicaci\u00f3n y el p\u00fablico.
