Abstract

Women and girls in an irregular migratory situation and in poverty from Venezuela, victims of the Colombian armed conflict, face barriers to access the voluntary interruption of pregnancy. Ignorance of the legal framework; the restrictive interpretation of the regulatory framework; failures in the provision of services; gender-based violence in the framework of the post-agreement and risk and vulnerability factors are obstacles that affect these people in a special and differentiated way. This article seeks to analyze what are the barriers that this population faces, in the framework of the armed conflict, to access the voluntary interruption of pregnancy (VIP)? To answer this question, a qualitative methodology is used, based on interviews with professionals dedicated to the care of Venezuelan migrant and refugee women.
