El Salvador: Creation of the organization Vida SV El Salvador in the wake of two key events: (1) an abortion rights lawsuit filed before the Supreme Court by the Citizens Coalition for the Decriminalization of Abortion and (2) a request by the UN Human Rights Committee asking El Salvador to review its legislation on abortion. Vida SV El Salvador is made up of Catholic Action members and has gradually turned its attention to actions related to the legal and bioethical fields.
