In June, SAAF grantee partner CLACAI (Latin American Consortium Against Unsafe Abortion) held the "Persisting in Change: Abortion is our Right" conference in Panama. Over 400 experts and activists were gathered for the meeting, and SAAF was able to support representatives from 17 grantee partner organisations to attend.
Susana Chávez, Executive Secretary of CLACAI:
"One thing that unites us in Latin America is that we believe that abortion should be a right - a right to health, a human right, a recognised right. I think this also helps us to reflect on how each country can explore its own regulations and be able to incorporate this notion into their logic and thinking."
