In Brazil , abortion is restricted to cases of rape, life-threatening risks to the pregnant woman or if the fetus has no functioning brain.
Theoretically, when a pregnancy results from sexual violence, the victim’s word should suffice for access to the procedure.
In practice, advocates, activists and health experts say women encounter significant barriers to ending a pregnancy.
Only 290 facilities in a mere 3.6% of municipalities around the country of approximately 213 million people provide the service.
In November , a committee of the Chamber of Deputies approved a proposed constitutional amendment that would effectively outlaw all abortions.
The bill is currently on hold, awaiting the formation of a commission.
Advocates say access to abortion highlights significant disparities: women with financial means dodge legal restrictions by traveling abroad for the procedure.
