What Happened to Belen (inbunden, eng)
Produktbeskrivning
In 2014, Belén, a twenty-five-year-old woman living in rural Argentina, went to the hospital for a stomachache—and soon found herself in prison. While at the hospital she had a miscarriage—without knowing she was pregnant. Because of the nation’s repressive laws surrounding abortion and reproductive rights, the doctors were forced to report her to the authorities.
Despite her protestations, Belén was convicted and sentenced to two years for homicide. This landmark case is a glaring example of how women’s health care has become increasingly criminalized, putting the most vulnerable—BIPOC, rural, and low-income—women at greater risk of prosecution.
Belén’s cause became the centerpiece of a movement to achieve greater protections for all women. After two failed attempts to clear her name, Belén met feminist lawyer Soledad Deza, who quickly rallied Amnesty International and ignited an international feminist movement around #niunamas—not one more—symbolized by thousands of demonstrators around the globe donning white masks, the same kind of mask Belén wore when leaving prison.
The #niunamas movement was instrumental in pressuring Argentine president Alberto Fernández to decriminalize abortion in 2021. Translated by Julia SanchesIn this gripping and personal account of the legal battle and its impact on local law, Ana Correa, one of Argentina’s leading journalists and activists, makes clear that what happened to Belén could happen to any woman—and that we all have the power to raise our collective voices and demand change.
What Happened to Belén is more than a true story; it’s a journalistic investigation into a fight for human rights that reveals: A Landmark Case for Reproductive Rights: The unbelievable story of how a young woman went to the emergency room for a stomachache and was sentenced for homicide after having a miscarriage she didn't know about.
The Fight for Justice: Inside the grueling legal battle led by feminist lawyer Soledad Deza to clear Belén’s name against a repressive legal system. A Global Feminist Movement: How Belén's cause, championed by Amnesty International, sparked the international #niunamas movement and brought thousands into the streets demanding change.
The Power of Collective Action: A powerful testament to how grassroots activism and investigative journalism can challenge systemic injustice and ultimately pressure a government to change its laws.
