| Sumario: | From the Social Work Residence in the Angel Bo Health Center, Hurlingham district, women who express their desire to terminate an unwanted pregnancy, produced in the context of a relationship of gender violence, are received daily.
From this experience we decided to analyze how the decision to abort is built in these situations. We investigated the reasons they expressed for requesting a termination of pregnancy, identifying the different forms of violence they experience and the implications that a continued pregnancy would have in this situation.
We consider the gender perspective as an essential tool to approach the problem that this work addresses. During the process of analysis of the interviews, carried out over a period of six months (October 2018 - March 2019), we observed how hetero-patriarchal power relations are put into play and how they impact the lives, decisions and bodies of people with the capacity to manage. Even so, we observe a quota of autonomy that is built into each decision, setting a limit, generating forms of self-care and resistance. |
