Equality, Sexual and reproductive rights, Legal Interruption of Pregnancy, Gender AlertAbstract
The regulatory framework of Veracruz presents a restrictive regulation for women, in which the absence of the risk factor to interrupt pregnancy stands out; It also presents "inequalities" in its legislation with 22 entities. It is considered a normative discrimination for the access to health and the Legal Interruption of Pregnancy to Veracruz. This inequality led 86 women to have an abortion (before week 12 of pregnancy) to public and private hospitals in Mexico City from 2014 to 2016. Most were between 20 and 30 years of age. With two Gender Alerts, one for Comparative Tort since December 13, 2017, Veracruz must adapt its laws and provisions to guarantee conditions of substantive "equality" for women. As noted in the Gender Alert Report 2017, it is necessary to standardize the legislation of the state of Veracruz with the national standard, however, six months later it had not been harmonized. For this reason, the concept of equality and the gender perspective are analyzed as a fundamental argumentative tool that will help guarantee the right to equality and avoid discrimination.
