This legislative text concerning Voluntary Termination of Pregnancy (IVG) decriminalized abortion in the so-called country of Human and… Women's Rights.
The Culture Egalité association published a manifesto on this occasion to take stock 50 years later, both in France, in the world and in Martinique. Eva, activist of the feminist association, is the author.
It is emphasized that this considerable change could not have occurred without the activism of feminists of the time, who worked illegally to allow every woman to escape the curse of unwanted pregnancies.
It is recalled that in 2024, France became the first country in the world to include this right in its fundamental text, the Constitution of the Fifth Republic.
Culture Egalité specifies that in Martinique, in 2021, the rate of recourse to abortion was significantly higher than the national average: 29.7 per 1000 women compared to 14.4 per 1000 women in France.
-A rate of voluntary terminations of pregnancies to correlate with the strong socio-economic inequalities of the territory.
The feminist association indicates that January 17 is certainly the anniversary date of the decriminalization of abortion in France, but the defense, consolidation and realization of this reproductive right are part of daily feminist struggles, for the rights of women and against inequalities.
