"Abortion in Chile is legal in the following cases: when the mother's life is at risk, when the fetus will not survive the pregnancy, and during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy (14 weeks, if the woman is under 14 years old) in the case of rape.Between 1989 and 2017 Chile had one of the most restrictive abortion policies in the world, criminalizing its practice without exception"https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_in_ChileΌμως:"The women seeking abortions turned away by doctors in Chile"(...)Chile's total ban on abortion - introduced under the rule of Gen Augusto Pinochet in 1989 - was lifted in 2017 after years of campaigning by women's organisations .Since then, abortions have been allowed under three strict conditions: if a mother's life is at risk, if a woman has been raped and if the foetus is unviableKnowing that the foetus had no chance of surviving to term (του έλειπε κομμάτι από το κρανίο), Adriana asked her doctor for a termination. But he refused.He was one of the hundreds of doctors in Chile who describe themselves as "conscientious objectors" because they refuse to carry out abortions."He gave me two options," says Adriana - to wait until the foetus died or "to pray".(...)https://www.google.gr/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-latin-america-49110647---------Cultural factors:Until 1989, the Civil Code of Chile legally sanctioned husbands’ ownership and authority over their wives, giving men power over their female partners and leading to abuse within the home. (...)Violence against women was prevalent across all classes of Chilean society by 1994. As of the early 1990s, it was reported that domestic violence affects about fifty percent of the women in Chile. All socioeconomic classes are affected by domestic violence, with some groups having higher rates of domestic violence than others. Consistent with these findings, a 2003 Chilean national survey indicated that 25–30% of female homicides occur at home.(...)It has been acknowledged that there has been a long history of sex abuse in the country's Catholic Church as well.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_violence_in_ChileMarriage and divorceUntil recently, women lost their right to manage their own assets once they were married and husbands received all of the wealth, but that law has since changed and women can now administer their own assets.(...)The Chilean Civil Code previously mandated that wives had to live with and be faithful and obedient to their husbands, but it is no longer in the law.(...)Chile legalized divorce in 2004https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_Chile----------"Domestic Violence in Chile: Calling Out FemicideThere is growing pressure on the media not to romanticize femicide as a “crime melodrama”"In the country with the fewest homicides in Latin America, and one of the safest, a woman is found unconscious, her eyes ripped out. The body of a young woman, seven months pregnant, is found a year after her disappearance just a hundred yards from her house, under a layer of lime and concrete. A woman is murdered, at home, alongside her mother. Another is recovering in a hospital after a knife attack that killed almost all of her family; her mother and younger sister died, her father managed to escape with a chest wound, crying for help.These are not crimes linked to drug traffickers, gangs, or political repression. These are examples of women attacked in Chile by men with whom, in most of the cases, they were in intimate relationships—current or former husbands or domestic partners, a crime that in Chile is called femicide. https://niemanreports.org/articles/chile-femicide-is-not-a-crime-melodrama/
