Colombia is rewriting the script for reproductive rights! 🎉 In a groundbreaking 2022 ruling, the country's Constitutional Court decriminalized abortion during the first 24 weeks of pregnancy – a move activists are calling a “historic leap for gender equality.”
Fast-forward three years: over 150,000 women have safely accessed abortion services, according to health authorities. This seismic shift comes after decades of advocacy by grassroots organizations fighting to reduce maternal mortality and empower reproductive choice. 💪
While challenges remain in rural healthcare access, the numbers tell a hopeful story. Young Colombians are leading conversations about bodily autonomy through viral TikTok campaigns and university forums. 📱💬 As one 22-year-old student in Bogotá told us: “This isn't just about abortion – it's about trusting women to make their own life decisions.”
The policy shift aligns with broader Latin American movements, from Argentina's 2020 legalization to Mexico's recent state-level reforms. 🌎 Regional activists are now sharing strategies through cross-border digital coalitions.
