In Progress

On 14 March 2005, Women’s Link Worldwide publicly launched a bold and innovative challenge to the Constitutional Court of Colombia, asking the judges to liberalise the country’s abortion law which outlawed the procedure under all circumstances. The project on High Impact Litigation in Colombia for the Unconstitutionality of Abortion2 started with the preparation of three main strategies — legal, alliances, and communications—in the summer of 2004 and ended on 10 May 2006 when the Constitutional Court issued the historic decision.
