Argentina Thousands demonstrate for abortion rights in Buenos Aires
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2018
THOUSANDS of women demonstrated outside Argentina’s parliament yesterday to demand decriminalisation of abortion.
Crowds marched wearing green handkerchiefs, the symbol of the Argentinian pro-choice movement.
The protest followed an online campaign day organised by the National Campaign for the Right to Legal, Safe and Free Abortion when abortion rights rose to be the country’s top Twitter topic under the hashtag #AbortoLegalYa.
Many tweets stressed the need for a public debate on abortion, with some highlighting victimisation of pro-choice activists. Some women reported losing jobs after publicly advocating legalisation.
