Two countries in Latin America recently expanded access to emergency contraception (EC).
In Honduras, the President signed an executive order lifting the ban on EC. Honduras is one of the few countries in the world that has a total ban on abortion. The President said that EC was part of women’s reproductive rights and not abortive.
In Peru, the Supreme Court issued an order continuing the requirement that the government offer free EC through the public health network.
Welcome progress!
