CALL TO ACTION / APRIL 25 - TWITTER STORM FOR THE DECRIMINALIZATION OF ABORTION IN HONDURAS

This week the Honduras Congress is expected to finish discussion on articles related to the decriminalization of abortion on the following grounds: 1) rape or incest, 2) danger to the life of the mother, and 3) the inability of the fetus to survive outside the uterus.

The formation SOMOS MUCHAS, to which the National Network of Women Human Rights Defenders in Honduras belongs, has been the target of a number of attacks perpetrated by religious hierarchies and fundamentalist groups such as the Comité ProVida, due to the formation’s active role in fostering and pushing forward this reform.

Thereby, we of IM-Defensoras are issuing a global call to support the Honduran comrades and join in A TWITTER STORM FOR THE DECRIMINALIZATION OF ABORTION on Tuesday, April 25th.
