Woman’s Legal Action Against Healthcare System for Gender Reassignment Surgery at a Young Age

Argentina’s Groundbreaking Move to Legalise Abortion

Argentina is on the brink of being the first major Latin American country to legalize abortion.   Currently, abortion in Argentina is permitted only in cases of rape or when the mother's health is at risk.
