Termination of pregnancy in cases of rape and wom­an’s risk of death has been allowed since 1940 in Brazil. However, only 49 years later the first legal abortion service was implemented in the city of São Paulo. In 2012, the Federal Supreme Court (STF) extended the right to terminate the pregnancy of anencephalic fetuses.

This scenario, already historically unfavorable and hostile for the fulfillment of a right of girls, wom­en and people with a uterus, was aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic affecting mainly low-income black women from municipalities farthest away from the capital, young people and adolescents.
