More than 5,000 girls in Peru need to be mothers How does the unborn child law violate the rights of minors?

Since 2002, every year on March 25 the day of the future child is celebrated After the publication of Law No. 27654 , adopted in the same year, ambiguously protect life in the womb and recognize the rights of an unborn person.Statistics: More than 5,000 girls in Peru are forced to become mothers because of this law have been a topical issue for decades, but the Congress of the Republic approved national interest this Wednesday that day.

“ The plenary session was approved by 77 votes with my author's consent in 1992, noting the importance and national interests of “Unborn Child Day”, which means “unborn children”, like all people since conception.” Renovation is popular.

Although there are no exact figures for 2022, as of 2020, the number of girls under 10 years in Peru has tripled, which is known as a direct result of a surge in sexual abuse during the pandemic.

The Live Birth Certificate Registration System (CNV), the platform of the Ministry of Health (Mins), recorded birth, visited the health facilities of the country, and in 2019 registered only 9 births for mothers under 10 years of age. However, this is an incomplete approach, since it is not complemented by girls who have undergone abortions or extra-maternity.

Aminor who was convicted as a mother is described as an adviser to the UN Human Rights Council in a report by the Special Rapporteur, published on January 5, 2016.

In addition, the Latin American and Caribbean Committee for the Protection of Women's Rights (Cladem) mentions that forcing girls to become mothers is a form of torture.

“ Making girls wear maternity hospitals they don't want is to torture them to remember the violence they have experienced. Unwanted pregnancies are forced, causing injuries and seriously affecting their development.” Mariel Tavara Arizmendi, a psychologist specializing in the treatment of sexual abuse cases, told Weitsi in 2019.

As a result, during the introduction of the bill proposes to decriminalize abortion in the event of Pregnancy, NGO Manuel during the rape, exposed last December by the House of Representatives of Ruth Luc Ramos , reported that in 2021 26 girls give birth to rape every week.

“ Legal, safe and free abortions for victims of sexual abuse will enable them to freely elect without risking their lives with secret abortions, without the beliefs that limit their right to make decisions,” the feminist organization explained in his Twitter account.

The bill submitted by Juntos for the legislator of Peru-SP recalled: “The state guarantees comprehensive sexual education in basic education institutions at all levels and forms, without discrimination, with special emphasis on preventing gender-based violence against women and children and adolescents Pregnancy”.

They do not want babies

In 2021, a study by the United Nations Population Fund (UNPF) reported that 7 out of 10 adolescent mothers do not want to have children except that pose a risk to their physical and mental health. Complications during pregnancy and childbirth are the second leading cause of death among young women aged 15 to 19 years around the world.

As a result of this early pregnancy, many girls leave school and affect 8 out of 10 children, the Ministry of Education evaluates .

“ This is absolutely harmful to the mental health and development of the girl,” says Efe Rossina. She leaves school and becomes a victim of stigma in her congregation, and if she reports, the family does not see her well because she accuses the husband of her surroundings” Guerrero, Program Director of the Centre for the Promsex and Protection of Sexual and Reproductive Rights (Promsex).

Gynecologist Miguel Gutierrez told Wayka portal that abortion should be decriminalized in Peru on the basis of sexual rape. This is applicable only if there is even the slightest evidence of serious harm to mental health.

“ In Peru, therapeutic abortion is decriminalized, but rape abortion is not decriminalized, and abortion is not decriminalized against the background of developmental defects that are incompatible with life. These two become part of a therapeutic abortion when these violence or developmental defects seriously affect mental health, causing harm to health. It would be nice if both rape and vices incompatible with life were decriminalized for their own reasons.”
