Resumen
Una de las manifestaciones más terribles de la violencia contra las mujeres es la violación sexual. La intencionalidad de este acto es humillar, degradar y castigar. Este trato inhumano genera graves sufrimientos en las mujeres, al afectar no solo su salud física sino también mental. Una violación sexual puede tener como consecuencia un embarazo no solo “no deseado”, sino impuesto a través del ejercicio del poder. La penalización del aborto, expone a las sobrevivientes de violencia a mayores sufrimientos, malos tratos y situaciones crueles que por extensión podrían considerarse tortura. El presente documento aborda estas reflexiones, planteando ampliar las disertaciones legales sobre lo que se considera un “embarazo forzado”, para incluir el embarazo producto de una violación sexual en un contexto de prohibición del derecho a decidir, como tal. Para estas reflexiones se parte del enfoque de derechos y de género, planteando además que en tanto los derechos reproductivos de las mujeres no se encuentren garantizados la violencia contra las mujeres persistirá.

For these reflections is part of the rights approach and gender, while also stating that reproductive rights of women not violence against women persist are guaranteed.
