INMUJERES called on Mexican authorities to continue working in favor to protect and guarantee women´s, teen´s and girl´s human rights, as well as to solve this sorts of cases so that incidents like Aurelia’s never happen again.

Aurelia was hospitalized in 2019 due to a miscarriage, but was subsequently arrested for allegedly committing homicide crime for kinship reason, aberration and cruelty. INMUJERES reported that Mexico´s Supreme Court of Justice unanimously solved (by 10 votes) the Action of Unconstitutionality in September 2021.

Consequently, it ruled in favor of women and pregnant women who decide to have an abortion and the right to decide, as an exclusive right to reproductive autonomy and, therefore, to self-determination over maternity.
