Morena Herrera, a prominent campaigner for abortion rights in El Salvador, found herself in a controversy after a video falsely accused her of pressuring a young woman into seeking an abortion.
Beatriz's tragic case highlighted the harsh realities faced by women in El Salvador, where strict abortion laws prevent necessary medical procedures, even in life-threatening circumstances.
The ongoing legal proceedings involving Beatriz's case at the inter-American court of human rights may lead to the decriminalization of abortion in El Salvador and set a regional precedent.
El Salvador's Supreme Court's refusal to allow Beatriz an abortion reflects a dangerous denial of women's rights and the fundamental right to make decisions about their own health.
