Argentine ‘National Campaign for Legal, Safe, and Free Abortion’

‘Motherhood will be wanted, or it will not be at all’ (la maternidad será deseada o no será). Not a single woman dead as a result of clandestine abortion.

Emerging in Argentina, a ‘green tide’ (marea verde) of reproductive rights activism has swept from there across the continent. This campaign explicitly links legal abortion to several other issues; the slogan on the scarf reads ‘sexual education to decide, contraception not to abort, legal abortion not to die’. It also ties this campaign to the history of women’s activism in Argentina, as it is directly inspired by the white scarves worn by the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo.
