Abortion Stigma remains a big issue in Colombia. As the new study \u201cAbortion and Stigma and Colombia: A review of policy and social media<\/strong>\u201d by AbortionData.org and DisorLab demonstrates, the roots of stereotypical opinions towards the procedure lie within patriarchal social norms that control and organize traditional roles of femininity and other behaviours that are considered \u201cdeviant\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Criminalization<\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
\n

Abortion remains in the Penal Code of Colombia after 24 weeks of pregnancy. When a practice (such as abortion) is criminalized, people perceive it as morally incorrect or dangerous. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Traditional Roles of Feminity<\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
\n

Traditional roles of women as natural caregivers and mothers are disrupted when abortion seekers decide against pregnancy. Challenging traditional roles is met with hostility and lack of support.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Social Identity<\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
\n

In Colombia, demographic characteristics like social class, race, age, or nationality play a massive role in determining access to healthcare. <\/strong>Studies on abortion in Colombia reveal that poor, working-class rural people, especially migrants from vulnerable communities, face more obstacles in abortion access because of systematic inequalities. They are also stigmatised because of their social identity. Therefore, classism shapes the popular view around abortion in Colombia. It is often believed that abortion seekers derive only from marginalised groups. As a consequence, the abortion discourse requires an intersectional approach that centres class and race.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
