Essa decis\u00e3o vem em resposta a uma a\u00e7\u00e3o judicial de 2020 movida pelas organiza\u00e7\u00f5es da Causa Justa<\/em> (Just Cause) movement in Colombia. Abortion will not be considered as a criminal matter until the 24th week of pregnancy. This paves the way for removing obstacles and guaranteeing access to abortion as a right and an essential health service.\n\nIn response to the ruling, Giselle Carino, Chief Executive Officer of F\u00f2s Feminista<\/a>, A Causa Justa, uma alian\u00e7a feminista internacional que ap\u00f3ia a Causa Justa, emitiu a seguinte declara\u00e7\u00e3o:\n\n\u201cComemoramos a decis\u00e3o da Suprema Corte como uma vit\u00f3ria significativa para todas as mulheres e meninas na Col\u00f4mbia e, particularmente, para as mulheres da zona rural, sobreviventes de viol\u00eancia de g\u00eanero e outras marginalizadas que s\u00e3o mais afetadas pela criminaliza\u00e7\u00e3o do aborto. Com nossos parceiros locais na Col\u00f4mbia, estaremos trabalhando para expandir o acesso a informa\u00e7\u00f5es baseadas em direitos sobre o aborto e a assist\u00eancia ao aborto seguro, inclusive por meio de plataformas de telessa\u00fade e baseadas na comunidade, e apoiando redes de acompanhamento para o aborto autogerenciado.<\/em>\n\n\u201cEmbora nossa luta continue, a decis\u00e3o da Suprema Corte da Col\u00f4mbia demonstra a for\u00e7a dos movimentos feministas que se organizam para exigir justi\u00e7a reprodutiva. Vimos a Argentina, o M\u00e9xico e agora a Col\u00f4mbia rejeitarem leis que penalizam e encarceram mulheres por fazerem escolhas sobre seus corpos e seus futuros. Estimulados por essa decis\u00e3o inovadora, juntamo-nos aos defensores de toda a regi\u00e3o e agitamos com entusiasmo nossos len\u00e7os verdes em solidariedade.\u201d<\/em>\n\n \n\nAura Carolina Cuasapud, porta-voz da Causa Justa, que entrou com a a\u00e7\u00e3o judicial que motivou a decis\u00e3o de hoje da Suprema Corte, expressou:\n\n\u201cThis is a historic decision: Colombia has become the first country in the region where abortion will be legal until the 24th week. This will give more women and girls the opportunity to have a safe abortion, particularly those living in more vulnerable conditions. The ruling of the Court will also allow health providers to avoid criminalization and do their vital work of protecting women and girls. We will continue this fight until abortion is completely erased from the penal code, but for now, we celebrate. This is not the end, but rather a new beginning: We still must ensure that reproductive health services will be available for everyone who needs them.\"<\/em>\n\n \n\nUm breve hist\u00f3rico da descriminaliza\u00e7\u00e3o na Col\u00f4mbia:<\/em><\/strong>\n\nEm 2006, a Corte Constitucional da Col\u00f4mbia decidiu permitir o aborto sob tr\u00eas exce\u00e7\u00f5es, ou causas<\/em>: in cases of rape, fetal malformation, and danger to the woman\u2019s life and health. But women in Colombia continue to face multiple barriers to accessing legal abortions. These include a lack of trained health care providers, bureaucratic hurdles for getting the legal permission to have the procedure, and the pervasive stigma associated with criminalization.\n\nIn 2020 alone, as COVID-19 disrupted access to basic health services, including reproductive services, around 30,000 pregnant women and girls were denied the right to have a legal abortion. In this context, some 132.000 mulheres na Col\u00f4mbia<\/a> suffer complications due to unsafe abortion each year, making the Court\u2019s decision not only a matter of social justice, but also of health rights.\n\nIn December 2021, as the Constitutional Court was about to start the debate to change the penal code, one of the nine members of the tribunal was impeded to vote given that he had previously expressed his views on abortion during an interview with a local media outlet. In January 2022, the remaining eight judges voted on the abortion case but there was a tie: four in favor and four against. To break the tie, the judges had to select a temporary member of the Court, who had the last word on decriminalization of abortion and voted in favor today. Also, today the Court requested Congress and the National Government to pass and implement a policy that will allow all Colombian women to access safe and legal abortion.\n\n \n\nA Onda Verde:<\/em><\/strong>\n\nEm dezembro de 2020,\u00a0Argentina<\/a> Congress passed legislation allowing women to terminate their pregnancies during the first trimester. This victory followed more than a decade of organizing by diverse civil society groups and country-wide mobilizations where women, girls and their allies waved green handkerchiefs as a symbol of their demand for reproductive justice.\n\nIn September 2021, the Suprema Corte do M\u00e9xico<\/a> ruled that criminal penalties for abortion were unconstitutional because they violated human dignity, autonomy, equality, reproductive health and freedom, among other rights. The rise of the Green Wave across Latin America stands in stark contrast to events in the United States, where abortion bans in Texas and Mississippi are being considered by state appeals courts and the Supreme Court, respectively.\n\n \n\n###\n\nF\u00f2s Feminista<\/a> \u00e9 uma alian\u00e7a feminista internacional centrada na sa\u00fade sexual e reprodutiva, nos direitos e na justi\u00e7a para mulheres, meninas e pessoas com diversidade de g\u00eanero. Juntamente com mais de 135 organiza\u00e7\u00f5es locais em todo o mundo, n\u00f3s nos envolvemos em cuidados com a sa\u00fade, educa\u00e7\u00e3o e defesa de direitos para promover nossa agenda. Isso inclui a presta\u00e7\u00e3o de servi\u00e7os de sa\u00fade sexual e reprodutiva e a implementa\u00e7\u00e3o de estrat\u00e9gias baseadas na comunidade que tornam a sa\u00fade sexual e reprodutiva mais acess\u00edvel a mulheres, meninas e outras pessoas marginalizadas. Tamb\u00e9m envolvemos os jovens com educa\u00e7\u00e3o sexual abrangente e prestamos atendimento a sobreviventes de viol\u00eancia de g\u00eanero. Estamos ao lado de nossos parceiros nas ruas, nos tribunais e em outros espa\u00e7os de defesa como uma voz feminista sem remorso, resistindo \u00e0 injusti\u00e7a e defendendo a igualdade de g\u00eanero e os direitos reprodutivos local e globalmente.\n\nLa Mesa por la Vida y la Salud de las Mujeres<\/a> fundou o movimento Causa Justa em 2018 em colabora\u00e7\u00e3o com outras quatro organiza\u00e7\u00f5es: Center for Reproductive Rights, Cat\u00f3licas por el Derecho a Decidir Colombia, Grupo M\u00e9dico por el Derecho a Decidir Colombia e Women's Link Worldwide. O movimento cresceu para mais de 90 organiza\u00e7\u00f5es e mais de 130 pessoas. A Causa Justa busca eliminar o crime de aborto do c\u00f3digo penal colombiano e entrou com uma a\u00e7\u00e3o de inconstitucionalidade para esse fim em 2020.","":null,"anchor_id":""}}]},"yoast_head":"\nF\u00f2s Feminista Applauds Colombian Court Ruling to Decriminalize Abortion -
