Since 2018 feminist groups and organizations have gathered around the Campaign Nem Presa Nem Morta por Aborto (Neither Prey nor Killed for Abortion), envisioning advances in this agenda. In recent years, the risks of setbacks in the field of Reproductive Justice have intensified and, with the Covid-19 pandemic, aggravated by federal misgovernment, the situation has become even more delicate.
The Campaign developed various channels of communication and of feminist resistance to disseminate up-to-date and secure information on reproductive justice. Among the initiatives is the Future of Care Newsletter – Reproductive Justice in Covid-19, whose seventh edition will be launched in November 2021 and, more recently, the launching of a podcasts.
The first episode of the Future of Care Podcast- Legally or Illegally, We Abort! addresses the achievements and obstacles of the feminist struggle for the right to abortion in Brazil and has testimonies by Jacqueline Pitanguy, Maria José Araújo, Priscilla Brito and Paula Viana. Jacqueline commented that the fight for women’s rights in the Brazilian Constitution should be celebrated not only for what we managed to put in the Constitution, but also for what did not enter, remembering that during the constitutional process the feminist movement managed to avoid the inclusion in the Constitution of any matter related to abortion, as a strategy to oppose against Pro Life movement that intended to insert in our Constitution the prohibition of abortion in any circumstance.
