Feminists call for legalisation of abortion in Argentina

Issued on:

In Argentina, as in most of South America, abortion is illegal. Any woman who wants one, must have it done illegally – and women’s groups say half a million of them do so, every year. No political leader has dared to change the law. But that’s not stopping Argentina’s feminists from demanding change. And as Aude Villiers-Moriamé reports in the final part of a three-part series, the country’s parliament appears to be listening.
