The past few years have been challenging for abortion rights in Brazil, but progress has also been recently made in the country. via WMC's the_fbomb

But progress has also been recently made in the country. For example, in 2019, producer, screenwriter, and activist Juliana Reis launched the initiative “Milhas pela Vida das Mulheres ,” which helps more than 200 women each month access legal abortion in Brazil in cases where the abortion is legal, and abroad in cases where it is not.Answers have been edited for length and clarity.

It’s important to say that we have no opinion about an unwanted pregnancy. Our only opinion is that the woman’s decision is sacred. We always embrace the women and treat them respectfully, without judgment. These women also have to be the protagonist of their situation, but we’ll provide juridical, medical, and psychological support — whenever is necessary. We’ll be with her until the end of this episode and forever.

We have a survey we ask women to answer after they pass through the procedure to find out where there are holes and how we can fix them. One of the questions in the survey asked to women who had legal abortions in Brazil’s public health care system is “Before arriving at the Miles, did you know you had the right to legal abortion?” It’s a surprise that 80% of women answer NO to this question. It’s a huge number especially in a country that has huge rates of violence against women.
