Everyday, I’ll try to post a summary of three non-geek articles I read today. This is my vain attempt at trying to spread awareness of these types of issues.
WHO
Amnesty International
WHAT
Asking Nicaragua to repeal a law that makes abortion illegal
WHEN
Today
WHERE
Nicaragua
WHY
Because it “marks a grave departure from the government’s commitment to improving social equality and has severe consequences for the protection of human rights for women and girls”.
FTA
Amnesty points out that the ban allows no exceptions – even when continuing a pregnancy risks the life or health of the woman or girl or when the pregnancy is the result of rape.
