    • Synopsis
    • Journalist Mariana Carbajal reveals the reality of women in El Salvador, where one of the strictest abortion prohibition laws in the world is in force. Criminalized in all its causes since 1998, the persecution and imprisonment of poor women facing an obstetric emergency are a constant. In the voice of Cinthia, Teodora, and Evelyn, victims of this network of violence, a question is intuited: What is the chances of being free when the State does not guarantee the right to life?
