Strengthen the feminist movement for the decriminalization of abortion in Ecuador
Commitment description:At Surkuna Ecuador, we commit to creating political training processes and strengthening the skills of young feminists by 2030, which will allow us to extend the movement in favour of freely available, legal, safe and free-of-charge abortion in our country. Furthermore, you obligate us to continue to form legal, technical and specialized defences for women who have been criminalized for their decisions and for being influenced by our work, so that no woman loses her freedom for making an autonomous decision. Finally, we will continue to oversee, follow up and call on the state to implement, monitor and create public policies to ensure women have access to legal abortion, and to change the laws that penalize such decisions.
