SOBERANO SERRANO, Alma Alejandra. The legal interruption of pregnancy and activism of the 21th century in Chiapas. LiminaR [online]. 2021, vol.19, n.2, pp.201-213.  Epub Sep 27, 2021. ISSN 2007-8900.  https://doi.org/10.29043/liminar.v19i2.851.

Criminalization of the legal termination of pregnancy in Mexico has continuously impeded respect for women´s human rights in local legislation. This study discusses the vision and work carried out by three women’s civil society organizations that undertake actions to promote legal termination of pregnancies in the state of Chiapas. A qualitative methodology was used involving in-depth interviews and four dimensions of analysis. The more notable results highlight the importance of carrying out online activism and direct advocacy around upcoming legal reforms before the legislature.

Keywords : legal termination of pregnancy; sexual and reproductive rights; activism; feminism; gender.
