    The FIAPAC Newsletter, April 2019 Table of content 2 Executive Committee, Membership, Official seat 3 2020 Conference Berlin 4 SheDecides 5 Interesting links, MyBodyMyLife exhibition 6 Cochrane fertility regulation 7 News from FIAPAC (board)members Editorial. Dear FIAPAC Members, colleagues and friends, The new FIAPAC board met in Brussels on 9 March 2019 and I am pleased to report that the recent congress in Nantes in September 2018, was not just a huge success but also a small financial success. As part of the board business the new executive committee was established and essentially will provide the same stable team for the next two years. FIAPAC is now looking forward to the next congress and the board voted overwhelming that this be held in Berlin in the autumn 2020. Berlin is a vibrant city with excellent conference and leisure facilities. In addition, there is increasing pressure from providers, policy makers and civil rights groups to improve reproductive rights for women in Germany and so hosting FIAPAC in Berlin will give support to future developments in this area. The exact dates for the 2020 confer- ence remain to be confirmed (pending availability and cost of a sufficiently large venue that can meet the requirements of a conference of our size and diversity). We will of course send news of dates to all members as soon as dates are secured. In the meantime we are about to prepare the scientific programme and so we are asking mem- bers to send us ideas for topics, speakers, workshops or other formats for the congress that they feel may be of interest - by the end of May.

  • Abortion Issue in Croatia
    “GREY AREA”: ABORTION ISSUE IN CROATIA ABSTRACT: This paper involves analysis and mapping of relevant stakeholders, legislation, policy and practice of the issue of abortion on demand in the Republic of Croatia in year 2014, with the aim of obtai- ning better insights and contributing to the understanding of the overall situation. Data collection methods that were used included focus group discussion, individual semi-structured interviews, written submissions and statements. Questions and problems related to the abortion issue belong to the “grey area”, thus characterized by: inadequate state regulation, deficiencies in the aborti- on records, cases of medical corruption and official misconduct, variability of medical treatment (high) cost on regional and hospital level and the incidence of conscientious objection. With all of the above, as well as with traditional, patriarchal stigmatization of women who voluntarily termi- nate pregnancy, along with current neoconservative threats - the accessibility and safety of legal abortions in Croatia is difficult. Further difficulties are the result of the indifference of managing structures of the health care system that do not accept responsibility for the failures in regulation and supervision. In the current situation, it is essential that the Ministry of Health and other rele- vant stakeholders in the health sector take affirmative actions to promote the options for materia- lisation of women’s reproductive rights. Given the findings of this study, with the aim of achieving the accessibility and safety of abortion on demand, it is necessary to ensure the accessibility of the procedure in all qualified institutions - regulate cases of conscientious objection, sanction abortion procedures in private gynaecological practices, standardize procedures and costs, and make all information (on procedures, costs ...) available on the Internet.

  • Covid- 19 Pandemic and the Protection of the Right to Abortion
    UDK 34-055.2: 616-036.21 Original scientific article COVID- 19 PANDEMIC AND THE PROTECTION OF THE RIGHT TO ABORTION Ivana Tucak, PhD, Associate Professor Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, Faculty of Law Stjepana Radića 13, Osijek, Croatia [email protected] Anita Blagojević, PhD, Associate Professor Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, Faculty of Law Stjepana Radića 13, Osijek, Croatia [email protected] ABSTRACT The COVID - 19 pandemic that swept the world in 2020 and the reactions of state authorities to it are unparalleled events in modern history. In order to protect public health, states have limited a number of fundamental human rights that individuals have in accordance with national constitutions and international conventions. The focus of this paper is the right of access to abortion in the Member States of the European Union. In Europe, the situation with regard to the recognition of women’s right to abortion is quite clear. All member states of the European Union, with the exception of Poland and Malta, recognize the rather liberal right of a woman to have an abortion in a certain period of time after conception. However, Malta and Poland, as members of the European Union, since abortion is seen as a service, must not hinder the travel of women abroad to have an abortion, nor restrict information on the provi- sion of abortion services in other countries. In 2020, a pandemic highlighted all the weaknesses of this regime by preventing women from traveling to more liberal countries to perform abortions, thus calling into question their right to choose and protect their sexual and reproductive rights.

La présente étude vise à dresser un portrait complet de ses divers aspects dans la capitale togolaise, qui a connu une baisse importante de la fécondité au cours des dernières années. À partir des données des Enquêtes démographiques et de santé (EDS) de 1988 et 1998, et de celles de l’Enquête sur la planification familiale et l’avortement provoqué (EPAP) de 2002, l’étude montre que le recours à l’avortement est à la hausse à Lomé, bien que l’estimation de son ampleur dépende de la méthode utilisée. Plus de 32 % des femmes ayant déjà été enceintes ont déclaré avoir avorté au moins une fois. Toutefois, l’avortement est plus fréquent chez les jeunes, qui y ont recours de manière plus précoce et plus rapprochée que leurs aînées.

Access expressed through laws, policies, and guidelines is a key component of the enabling environment for safe abortion. However, abortion laws and policies can be punitive or protective; specific or non-specific; confusing and even contradictory at times, all of which may exacerbate a chilling effect on those who seek, provide or advocate for access to services. Launched in June 2017, the Global Abortion Policies Database (GAPD) contains abortion laws, policies, standards and guidelines for UN and WHO Member States designed to strengthen global efforts to eliminate unsafe abortion by facilitating comparative analyses of countries’ abortion laws and policies.

  • RETHINKING the RIGHT to ABORTION1 Associate Professor, Faculty of Law Osijek, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek E-Mai
    RETHINKING THE RIGHT TO ABORTION1 Anita BLAGOJEVIĆ Associate professor, Faculty of Law Osijek, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek E-mail:[email protected] Ivana TUCAK Associate professor, Faculty of Law Osijek, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The ending of pregnancy is an issue that keeps attracting great attention even today, at the beginning of the 21st century. Since the 1970s, abortion legislation has moved steadily towards liberalization, especially in developed countries around the world. In Europe, only a few countries still prohibit abortion on request. Yet neither the current legislation nor the relevant case law of supreme and constitutional courts have brought about consensus on the justification thereof. An exceptionally delicate matter made so by a wealth of moral, ethical, philosophical, medical, religious, economic, legal and other aspects, abortion is a bone of contention in the general public and many an expert community. The reasoning provided in constitutional reviews of law is lambasted in equal measure by the pro-choice and the pro-life camps, the latter of which are felt in presence and influence despite the ever-growing liberalization. The paper primarily examines the matter of abortion in comparative and Croatian constitutional law and legislation from the perspective of human rights. Key words: human rights, the right to privacy, freedom, dignity. 1This article has been translated from Croatian by Aleksandra Živković in collaboration with the authors.
