VOICED : ONU: Paises afectados por zika deben dar acceso a aborto

The United Nations has urged countries affected by the Zika virus to provide women with access to contraceptives and authorize abortions. The UN highlights that government requests for couples to avoid pregnancies overlook the realities faced by many women, especially in contexts of sexual violence. Comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services, including emergency contraceptives, maternal health care, and safe abortion services, should be available. The World Health Organization has declared an international health emergency due to the suspected link between Zika and the alarming rise in microcephaly cases in Latin America.
