  • ABORTO LEGAL YA is a project about the fight for the legalization of abortion and its relationship with the problem of control of pleasure and the female body. An appeal to the ability, freedom and autonomy to decide on our bodies. This project is primarily photographic but it also has audio components, interviews, testimonials, a documentary video, and installations. With more than 70 images and testimonies and more than 15 interviews, "ABORTO LEGAL YA" addresses issues such as the autonomy of the female body, its relationship with patriarchy, economic systems, the idea of property, and the way in which the female body as reproductive receptacle, is the tool and primary thread to sustain the idea of capital. At the same time, it focuses on the role of the State, the health system and the role of the churches within public policies

  • The thing is, we can't talk about abortion. We can't tell anyone. Not even our friends, our relatives.

    I had it in my own house and it was because I was able to buy a group of teas and the lady who sold them to me in the market gave me the instructions, she told me what I was going to feel but I never imagined that it would be so painful. I don't remember a greater pain. It was a lot of hours...it was three days? I don't know...but it was a very, very painful experience.
    My partner had no interest in supporting me and I remember huge blood clots coming out and also having a fever. And I remembered the instructions that if I had a fever I should seek medical help immediately, so I was very ashamed, I was ashamed, because I didn't know what was going to happen, I didn't want my family to find out and I knew that the doctors were going to to interrogate
    It was very difficult for me but I understood that I was dying.

    So I got to the hospital and indeed the first thing they did was question me.
  • Charo López (41), Argentinian comidian actress. I also interviewed her for the short I asked the question : why YES to the legalization of abortion. These are the responses. Aborto legal es vida / Legal abortion is life

  • People with the ability to gestate leave personal testimonies about their experiences of having abortions. Ana Vidal (49, antropologist) leaves testimony about the enormes difference of having an ilegal abortion compared to a legal one. "This is what a clandestine abortion is about, it scares you and a lot of loneliness because many people are scared, it is something illegal. The issue of illegality, even if they want to help you, they are scared, and they are not as they should. Many years later living in Europe, also an unwanted pregnancy, two months after giving birth to a baby, aborted. This time it is legal. The difference is abysmal. Containment, accompaniment, simplicity, There is no fear and there is no loneliness. You have the memory scar on your body of what happened, but it continues"

  • SaSa Testa (36, Master in Gender Studies and Policies, Non-binary trans activist). He is part of the short and I intervied him I asked the question : why YES to the legalization of abortion. These are the responses. Ni la biología ni mi nombre me impiden abortar...que la ley tampoco me lo impida. #Será Ley / Neither biology nor my name prevent me from aborting ... the law does not prevent me either #it will be legal

  • People with the ability to gestate leave personal testimonies about their experiences of having abortions Ana Rocskosky (49, architect) leaves her testimony about her experience of having abortions and the enormes difference when a person with money can pay for an illegal abortion compared to a poor person. One of the main slogans for the legalization of abortion was Aborto legal seguro y gratuito (Legal , safe and free abortion), so every single person could access it regardless of their economic class. "My name is Ana . I had two abortions. One when I was 22, and one when I was 24. In both cases I was dating and I didn't want to have a baby at the time because I thought I was too young. The doctor who performed the abortion got it for me, my father, my family knew and it was not a major issue. The situation of being able to have a baby scared me but it was not something that later caused me or guilt, or pain, or anything. She was not ready to have a child at the time in any way. They both went to the same doctor. It was quite painful physically, but mentally it did not bring me any problems. It was the solution for what had happened to me. Obviously it was clandestine because it is not legal but it was in a certain condition, in an office, in Recoleta, in this man's apartment, with an assistant, as in appropriate conditions, limousines, with a lot of hygiene and with a lot of security around. It was within all a very protected, cared for, safe situation. And with a lot of decision. I had no doubts"

  • Jazz Sallis ( , Members of the Women's Wheelchair Basketball National Argentinian team ) I asked the question : why YES to the legalization of abortion. These are the responses. Porque decidir sobre nuestros cuerpos nunca más debe causar Vergüenza. Miedo. Muerte / Because deciding on our bodies should never cause shame again. afraid. death

  • People with the ability to gestate leave personal testimonies about their experiences of having abortions. Maik G leaves her testimony about having an aboution as a non binary person. Maik G (27, performance artist) is a non binary person, they leave testimony on having an abortion: "My name is Maik, I identify as a trans person. I am a trans person, not binarie. Much of my childhood was trying to enter into what is socially required of a woman in some sense. I am in favor of legal, safe and free abortion, and I believe that if an education is necessary to be able to decide, choose, that the information is as widely available to all people and that it is also true, that there are means and tools, information provided by the State, which is a large institution, which reaches everyone, families, individuals, schools, hospitals, the most vulnerable communities or those with fewer privileges and also the social classes with more privileges so that there is a real awareness. At the age of 14 I had a boyfriend with whom we were not very young and we had started to have sex, and obviously because of not knowing how to take care of ourselves it happened that I got pregnant and we were very young and we knew that that could not be. That was not what we wanted. We do not dare to tell our parents, we told our closest friends and they helped us by raising money. We were still very afraid because we knew it was risky. At that time I just knew that I had to take those pills and also put them in. And it was quite, nothing, it scared me. But let's say, I did it alone at my house. And I think I was very lucky, a lot of privileges. And that not all the people who are in that situation can access such a solution and that everything goes well. In fact, I think that above all, much more risky solutions appear sometimes or at the last minute, for the same reason, for fear, for not knowing, for not having anyone to turn to, because you cannot go to anyone, not even a security guard. nursing to treat you in a way that understands that this to your life."
  • Elsa Schvartzman, Sociologist specializing in women's health and rights

  • Karina Bidaseca, sociologist

  • I identify as a trans person. I am a trans person, not binary. Much of my childhood was trying to get into what is socially required of a woman in some sense. But well, no, no, that wasn't enough for me. I wasn't like that either. I dedicate myself to art, I am in favor of legal, safe and free abortion, and I believe that if an education is necessary to be able to decide, to choose, that the information is as accessible as possible to all people and that they are also certain, that there are means and tools, information provided by the State, which is a great institution, which reaches everyone, families, individuals, schools, hospitals, the most vulnerable or least privileged communities, and also to the social classes with more privileges so that there is a real awareness. At 14 I had a boyfriend with whom we weren't very young and well, we had started having sexual relations, and obviously because of not knowing how to take care of ourselves, because we didn't know about everything, it happened that I got pregnant and we were very young and we knew that it couldn't be. Which was not what we wanted. We didn't dare to tell our parents, we told our closest friends and they helped us by raising money. We were still very scared because we knew it was risky. And I asked for advice and help from a cousin who I knew had already had an abortion. And in the end she didn't, but her sister helped me. She and her boyfriend got me misoprostol. I didn't even know the name. At that time I only knew that I had to take those pills and also stick them. And it was quite a lot, nothing, it scared me. But let's say, I did it alone in my house. As I said that my period had come and that I felt very bad. And nothing to see. Like I had to act it out and well everything happened and at the time I kept it forever in the depths of my being. It is not something that speaks the truth in general. And now that the issue has been more visible for years, that I always think about it, that I was lucky to have people who helped me. In other words, lucky to have people who lent me money, who helped me get it. I had no idea. I blindly trusted only because I couldn't imagine any other possibility but to try. Even if we took the risk, I was very embarrassed, afraid at a family level, I mean with my parents, although they would surely have supported me, after all, they in particular. But, but it is very terrible, like all of them, the pressure, the ghosts that it generates in you. I don't know what they can tell you or what it might imply. And then I feel that this remained in some register of my being, like something that I don't know if not yet, like only now can I process it better. I feel like it was something that got stuck in me. That, that is also something that, what happened, a decision I made because I knew what I wanted. And I think I was very lucky, very privileged. And that not all people who are in that situation can access such a solution and that everything goes well. In fact, I think that above all, much more risky solutions appear sometimes or at the last moment, for the same reason, out of fear, for not knowing, for not having anyone to turn to, because you can't turn to anyone, not even a security guard. nursing to treat you in a way that understands that this to your life.

  • "It is our right"

  • How I resist letting out that unpleasant memory... even if it appears many times. In such different ways... but recounting it in great detail implies something else... perhaps the fantasy is that this indignation is the engine of my practice... and that recounting it will free me from indignation... but well... here it goes... we will see what happens.
    It was September almost 35 years ago... (I can't believe when I count the years!!)
    I was in the 3rd year of college. Couple of a few months...nothing very deep...method failure...pregnancy! There was no possibility of continuing... it was not an option, not even by chance... why did you start a pilgrimage? For many gynecological clinics... not here... not me... call here... exorbitant figures... days went by... weeks...
    A colleague (today one of my best friends) was going through the same thing. He sends me the date .. she had done very well. Her father, her doctor, had accompanied her... so all the confidence! Arrange to go. They give me an appointment very quickly for that same day. An office by horse (can you believe I don't remember which streets?) I go alone because my partner was teaching at the facu at that time (and I didn't want to let another second go by). Normal waiting room .. secretary big lady .. I wait a bit. makes me pass The doctor is pleasant in the consultation... cordial... he asks me the date of the last menstruation, history... he puts on a circumstance face... he takes out a kind of cardboard with rates for weeks of pregnancy... and I was walking around here and there for a while... I wasn't going to get much out of it... I resign myself... I could borrow a little more money...
    Well, he tells me, I have to check you... I'll take out all the clothes... I look with a face of astonishment... all of them? If she tells me... the check-up must be complete... it catches my attention... my friend hadn't told me... but I don't know if I think of anything strange... she sits on the stretcher and tells me that she has to check me stop because the cervix is better measured... he inserts his fingers into my vagina and leans me towards where he was sitting so that I am between his legs... there I realize what is happening and I jump as if propelled by a spring .. I start to get dressed in a hurry .. I feel surprise and indignation sprouting through his eyes .. I can't say a word .. he resumes his role, sits at the desk and tells me that for the amount of weeks 14? 16 ? I don't remember anymore...) he's going to make an exception and give me an appointment for the next morning... I can't get out of my perplexity... he gives me the address... deep suburbs (I can't remember where either... what it is clandestine, right?) I say I'm going to go... she gives me the fasting instructions and all that... I leave... the secretary with a blank face... I walk out trembling... I dial 132... I arrive at the faculty and in the Hall hugged one of my classmates and I started to cry..
    One of them goes to look for my boyfriend... when he finishes teaching he goes downstairs... he hugs me... we cry together in a corner... we leave and think... what to do... he wants to hit him... I just want to that I have the abortion... I want it to happen... that everything ends... I remember everything as if I were alienated... as if I were looking at everything from afar... speechless...

    The next day my boyfriend picked me up early with the car...it was September 21...at the service station where we stopped to fill up with gasoline they gave me a red carnation...we continued...we arrived...a house in the suburbs... waiting room several women... most of them alone... they make me come in after a while... a secretary (another) charges me... something happens so I have a dispute with her... but I don't remember. . yes i had a lot of hate
    Then they make me enter an almost empty room... with a stretcher in the center and newspapers under it... I almost died when I saw that!! I thought of my mom who always says that there is nothing dirtier than newspaper! I lay down there after having taken off the bottom part of my clothes...they covered me with something...who was supposed to anesthetize me came in and after a while the monster that the day before had taken advantage of my enormous vulnerability to abuse my body .. they injected something into my vein .. I felt like dying but I didn't care .. I woke up soon I think .. only the secretary was nearby .. I asked her, is she? Yes... she's already there, she told me... I quickly sat down on the stretcher... she challenged me... don't ask to get up yet! Yes, I told her... I'm leaving... give me my clothes... she grumbled but she handed me the clothes... look how you're going to fall flat!! I don't care... I'm out of here! I got dressed and went out... I signaled to my boyfriend that you're still in the waiting room and we left... I think I didn't say a word the whole trip back... we went to my house... my mom knew something but Not long after, I prepared my bed and went to bed.. I was lying down all afternoon of that spring day.. I think that by that point I was relieved.. but the anger persisted... When night came, the one who was going to stop being my boyfriend in a few minutes he proposes that we go to a birthday... of a dear friend of his... I couldn't let him down... are you serious? Not cute,!! You go... and don't come back... don't even think about it...
    Days...weeks...passed and the bleeding would not go away. I hadn't gone with the instructions... I was never going to go back to that office and I couldn't go to consult anywhere else either... so let's wait for it to happen and pray (pray?) Because it doesn't get complicated... I don't remember too much but yes, my friend who had been luckier consulted him for me, and he sent him the name of an injection so that he could give it to me, my friends came to bring me the injection and one of them gave it to me... I have very funny scenes from that day... we didn't know the term sonority back then... but we practiced it... without WhatsApp... not even a landline phone... I lived about an hour away from where almost everyone was... and there they were!
    Things did not improve... another friend came to read me the texts of the subjects that we had to take so that I would not be late... while I was in bed, which makes me think that the bleeding is still important... and I still did not consult .
    On December 21 (yes! 3 months later) when I finished taking the last subject of the year (I finally didn't lose any!!) Another friend was waiting for me... who found out... her mother was a gynecologist, she consulted her and told her She said that they would take me urgently to see a friend of hers... that she would be waiting for me in her office when I finished the exam.
    there we went!! She checked me warmly.. she told me Zafaste! There is no infection... take this and you will get better soon... the next day the bleeding had disappeared... and the fear... And I was able to start a path of care... my friends are still my great friends... together we share the fight for legal and safe abortion... and in every hug that I give to a woman that I accompany in the care of an abortion I tell her in some way in that hug that she will not go through anything like what I went through.
  • Thousand of women march to Congress on the International Women's Strike or International Feminist Strike of 8M. It was a mobilization that took place on March 8, 2018, on the International Women's Day. It was convened by feminist organizations and allies of the fight for women's rights around the world.

The appeal included salaried and non-salaried women, of all sexual orientations and identities.

    One of the main demands was for a society free of sexist violence, whose most visible manifestation is the aggression and murder of women for the mere fact of being women. The labor rights of women, affected by precariousness, wage inequality and sexual harassment in the workplace, were also claimed. Likewise, poverty, racial violence, persecution of immigrants and cuts in social and health programs were denounced.
