The Federal Women’s Health Commission was exonerated by the Minister of Health due to a Technical Note issued by this Commission defending that the sexual and reproductive rights and services already guaranteed by law be guaranteed during the Covid-19 pandemic.
In response to this act, a large number of organizations, including CEPIA, signed a Disapproval Note, expressing deep concern about the denial of sexual and reproductive rights and the tragic situation of violence against women in Brazil, and expressing its solidarity with the Women’s Health Commission team.
The disapproval note and the list of institutional and individual members can be accessed here.
