We commit ourselves to prevent, eradicate and sanction gender-based violence in all its expressions and areas in which it manifests itself. In particular, we are committed to the eradication of forced child pregnancy, the prevention and care of teenage pregnancy, the right to legal, safe and free abortion. Ensure access to justice and reparation for victims of gender-based crimes, especially of women in their diversity, girls, boys, LGBTIQ +, indigenous and afrolatino people.
