VOICED : Reprimen marcha por aborto en Lima

The video covers a feminist march in Lima advocating for the decriminalization of abortion in cases of rape. The police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse the protesters. Political figures, including Nadine Heredia and President Soyanta Humala, expressed support for the protest. Despite this, the Congress's Justice Commission blocked legal avenues for the initiative, citing the right to life from conception, a stance supported by the Catholic Church. Current Peruvian laws allow abortion only in cases of severe fetal malformation or danger to the mother's life, which activists find insufficient. They demand sexual education, access to contraceptives, and legal abortion to ensure women's safety.
