R\u00e9cemment, au Kenya, un arr\u00eat de la Cour a montr\u00e9 que les litiges strat\u00e9giques font \u00e9galement progresser la justice en mati\u00e8re de procr\u00e9ation en Afrique.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\n\nEn mars 2022, la Haute Cour de Malindi a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 ill\u00e9gales les arrestations et les poursuites li\u00e9es \u00e0 l'avortement, concluant que les soins li\u00e9s \u00e0 l'avortement \u00e9taient un droit fondamental en vertu de la Constitution. La Cour a ajout\u00e9 que la protection de l'acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l'avortement affectait des valeurs constitutionnelles vitales, notamment la dignit\u00e9, l'autonomie, l'\u00e9galit\u00e9 et l'int\u00e9grit\u00e9 corporelle.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\n\nAu Kenya, l'avortement est l\u00e9gal sous r\u00e9serve de certaines exceptions, notamment le danger pour la vie ou la sant\u00e9 de la femme et le viol. Les organisations de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 civile plaident depuis longtemps en faveur de l'\u00e9largissement des droits des femmes \u00e0 un avortement s\u00fbr et l\u00e9gal, et la r\u00e9cente d\u00e9cision ouvre une nouvelle opportunit\u00e9.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\n\nCette victoire historique a permis de trancher une affaire concernant \u00e0 la fois le droit d'une mineure \u00e0 recevoir des soins de sant\u00e9 reproductive et celui d'un professionnel de la sant\u00e9 \u00e0 la traiter. Une adolescente enceinte s'est adress\u00e9e \u00e0 une clinique o\u00f9 un m\u00e9decin a d\u00e9termin\u00e9 qu'elle avait perdu sa grossesse et lui a prodigu\u00e9 des soins post-avortement essentiels pour lui sauver la vie. Tous deux ont \u00e9t\u00e9 accus\u00e9s de \u201cprocurer un avortement\u201d.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\n\n\u201cLes lois et les politiques doivent cesser de criminaliser les femmes, les jeunes filles et les prestataires de soins de sant\u00e9, car cela n'emp\u00eachera pas les avortements. Le gouvernement et la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 doivent veiller \u00e0 ce que les lois et les politiques permettent l'existence de services de sant\u00e9 sexuelle et g\u00e9n\u00e9sique accessibles \u00e0 tous, au lieu de criminaliser les personnes qui font ce qu'elles doivent faire\u201d, d\u00e9clare Monica Oguttu, directrice ex\u00e9cutive de l'association <\/span>KMET<\/a>, une organisation partenaire de F\u00f2s Feminista.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\n\nKMET is based in Kisumu, the country's third largest city in western Kenya, and works to promote sexual and reproductive health and rights among marginalized populations. During the COVID pandemic, KMET implemented <\/span>a mod\u00e8le communautaire<\/strong><\/span> pour garantir l'acc\u00e8s des femmes et des jeunes filles aux droits sexuels et reproductifs, y compris \u00e0 l'avortement sans risque. L'organisation a \u00e9galement mis en \u0153uvre un projet visant \u00e0 \u00e9liminer la stigmatisation entourant l'avortement, qui repr\u00e9sente un obstacle pour les femmes et les filles qui souhaitent mettre un terme \u00e0 leur grossesse.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\n\n\u201cNous devons veiller \u00e0 ce que tous les prestataires de services de sant\u00e9 reproductive du pays soient inform\u00e9s de la r\u00e9cente d\u00e9cision et soient form\u00e9s \u00e0 la mise en \u0153uvre d'une politique globale de sant\u00e9 reproductive qui est en cours de r\u00e9vision. Nous ferons pression pour l'\u00e9laboration d'une bonne politique et sa mise en \u0153uvre\u201d, d\u00e9clare Jedidah Maina, directrice ex\u00e9cutive de l'organisation partenaire F\u00f2s Feminista, <\/span>TICAH<\/a>.\n\nTICAH a men\u00e9 diff\u00e9rentes <\/span>strat\u00e9gies de renforcement de la communaut\u00e9<\/strong> dans les r\u00e9gions \u00e0 faible revenu du pays afin de promouvoir les droits sexuels et g\u00e9n\u00e9siques et d'am\u00e9liorer la sant\u00e9 et le bien-\u00eatre des femmes et des filles. KMET, TICAH et d'autres organisations de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 civile unissent leurs forces pour garantir au Kenya et \u00e0 d'autres pays d'Afrique de l'Est un avenir plus f\u00e9ministe.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\n\nAlors que les militants du droit \u00e0 l'avortement ont subi des revers aux \u00c9tats-Unis, d'autres pays montrent que les militantes f\u00e9ministes sont \u00e0 l'origine de changements visant \u00e0 faire progresser l'autonomie corporelle. Le mouvement en faveur d'un avortement s\u00fbr et l\u00e9gal a atteint tous les coins du monde. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>","":null,"anchor_id":""}}]},"yoast_head":"\nA giant step for legal abortion in Kenya -
