A lei, que foi elaborada e aprovada pelo gabinete, agora ser\u00e1 encaminhada ao Parlamento para aprova\u00e7\u00e3o. Crucialmente, essa lei anular\u00e1 uma proibi\u00e7\u00e3o rigorosa de abortos que remonta \u00e0 \u00e9poca colonial e ajudar\u00e1 a reduzir a taxa de mortalidade materna de Serra Leoa, que atualmente \u00e9 de o mais alto do mundo<\/a>.\n\nIn response to this exceptional moment, which marks another victory for feminist movements for reproductive rights across the Global South, leaders from F\u00f2s Feminista, a global feminist alliance of over 170 organizations organizing for sexual and reproductive rights, released the below statements.\n\nFadekemi (Kemi) Akinfaderin<\/a>, A Dra. Kathryn, co-chefe de advocacia global da F\u00f2s Feminista, compartilhou sua perspectiva como defensora e l\u00edder feminista que vive na Z\u00e2mbia:\n
\u201cComo defensor que trabalha com direitos sexuais e reprodutivos e justi\u00e7a na \u00c1frica h\u00e1 mais de 20 anos, estou muito feliz em ver o Presidente Bio anunciar a Lei da Maternidade Segura hoje no Confer\u00eancia Africana sobre Sa\u00fade e Direitos Sexuais<\/a> in Freetown. As its name suggests, Freetown was founded by people who were formerly enslaved and came to Sierra Leone to build a community where they could enjoy the safety, equity, and freedom they deserve. Today\u2019s announcement fulfills one part of that promise as women and other pregnant people will now have the right and freedom to access the information, medications, and accompaniment they need to terminate a pregnancy safely.\n\n\u201cWhile we see the United States backsliding in protecting their citizens\u2019 sexual and reproductive rights, feminist movements in the Global South, including here in Sierra Leone, are decriminalizing abortion and advancing gender and reproductive justice. I\u2019m hopeful today\u2019s announcement gives activists in the U.S., and especially Black women given the shared history, a restored faith that change is possible and progress can be made.\u201d<\/blockquote>\nGiselle Carino<\/a>, A diretora executiva e diretora executiva da F\u00f2s Feminista, ofereceu uma vis\u00e3o de como esse momento se encaixa no movimento mais amplo pelos direitos reprodutivos:\n
\u201cSerra Leoa se une a Benin<\/a>, Cabo Verde<\/a>, o Rep\u00fablica Democr\u00e1tica do Congo<\/a>, e Qu\u00eania<\/a> as the latest African nation to make a crucial stride forward in protecting the basic human rights of women and people who can get pregnant by decriminalizing abortion care. This victory for abortion rights demonstrates the raw strength of global feminist movements. Despite recent setbacks in the United States, feminist movements are stronger than ever and ready to persevere in the global struggle for democracy and reproductive justice.\n\n\u201cIt is not lost on us that this victory comes days after the United States\u2019 Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. We recognize the global impact of the United States\u2019 policies and funding in setting a global agenda and shaping policies far beyond its borders \u2014 the Regra da Morda\u00e7a Global<\/a> is a clear example of what this looks like. Nevertheless, those determined to advance reproductive justice will never relent\u2014not in the face of the United States\u2019 faltering leadership, and, as we\u2019ve seen in Sierra Leone, not in the face of interlocking issues of colonialism, racism, and harmful practices against women.\n\n\u201cWe are thrilled to be able to celebrate this historic moment with our feminist ally Purposeful and the coalition of organizations that led this change in Sierra Leone.\u201d<\/blockquote>\nO an\u00fancio foi feito na ocasi\u00e3o do 10\u00aa Confer\u00eancia Africana sobre Sa\u00fade e Direitos Sexuais<\/a>, organizada pela Purposeful com o apoio da F\u00f2s Feminista para reunir organiza\u00e7\u00f5es feministas e de direitos das mulheres de todo o continente africano para discutir o acesso ao aborto, entre outros t\u00f3picos. Nessa confer\u00eancia, as parceiras da F\u00f2s Feminista lan\u00e7aram uma nova bandana de liberta\u00e7\u00e3o africana<\/a> para representar a luta pela autonomia corporal, acesso ao aborto e direitos reprodutivos em solidariedade a outros movimentos em todo o mundo.\n
