El Salvador: The Citizens’ Coalition for the Decriminalization of Abortion, with the support of international human rights organizations and following in the footsteps of the feminist organization Las Libres de México, launched the campaign known as Las 17. This campaign involves 17 pardon requests presented on behalf of women who have been unjustly convicted of homicide after suffering obstetric emergencies late in their pregnancies.
