Illusions of care: lack of accountability in reproductive rights in Argentina

Human Rights Watch just published a report that documents the many obstacles women and girls face in Argentina to get hold of reproductive health care services to which they are entitled, such as contraception, voluntary sterilization procedures, and abortion after rape.

The most common barriers to care include long delays in providing services, unnecessary referrals to other clinics, demands for spousal permission contrary to law, financial barriers, and in some cases outright denial of care. 

The report is available in Spanish and in English.
