Corte IDH Rules El Salvador Violated Rights of 'Beatriz' in Landmark Abortion Case Due to Obstetric Violence on December 20, 2024
Dec 20, 2024, 09:41 PM
The Inter-American Court of Human Rights (Corte IDH) has ruled that El Salvador violated the rights of a woman known as 'Beatriz' by denying her an abortion despite her pregnancy being deemed non-viable. This landmark decision, announced on December 20, 2024, addresses the broader implications for abortion laws in El Salvador, where strict anti-abortion legislation has been a contentious issue. The court's ruling mandates that El Salvador must amend its laws concerning pregnancies that pose risks to women's health. The case has sparked significant debate between feminist organizations and the government regarding reproductive rights and health care access. The court found that the state had committed obstetric violence against Beatriz, who was forced to continue with a dangerous pregnancy. This ruling could lead to substantial changes in the country's legal framework surrounding abortion.
