🇨🇴 1 year ago, Colombia decriminalized abortion up to 24 weeks gestation. 💚Today, the Marea Verde or “Green Wave” movement in Latin America is still going strong. The fight is not over until everyone has freedom over their own body!. Abortion = Healthcare. 🎨@liberaljanee

Great news: child marriage numbers are falling, thanks to better education for girls and strong public messaging around the harm that child marriage causes. While we celebrate, we must remain committed until every girl is free to decide!
