GUATEMALA: Protests for abortion rights

In Guatemala, on the day after International Safe Abortion Day, politicians filed a criminal complaint against a youth organisation for sharing information on safe and legal abortion, which they viewed as ‘inciting to crime’. Journalists were also attacked for reporting on activities held that day. Pro-choice events were obstructed in Honduras too, where a webinar about the criminalisation of abortion held by Somos Muchas (‘We are many’) in May was interrupted by a cyberattack, with its chat flooded with misogynistic, sexist and racist messages.
