The report Sexual and Reproductive Rights for People with Disabilities: A Regional Overview, presents the results of a study conducted within the framework of CLACAI’s Disability and Abortion initiative. This comparative study analyzes sexual and reproductive health (SRH) regulations for people with disabilities (PwD), based on the standards of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). It was jointly developed by two CLACAI´s initiatives: Reproductive Health is Vital and Clacai´s Legal Network. The study analyzed the laws of 13 Latin American countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay) to identify both the legal harmonization achieved and the remaining gaps in guaranteeing the rights of PwD regarding access to SRH, particularly abortion.
