Ariel Castro Alves, a lawyer from the Institute for Child and Adolescent Rights (Indica), said in an interview this Tuesday (21): Guaranteed abortion by the Unified Health System (SUS) of pregnant children.
“We had a similar case two years ago in Espirito Santo with a 10-year-old girl who was 20 weeks pregnant who was subjected to sexual violence and rape, and the hospital refused legal abortion because her life was in danger. The risk beyond rape. She sought justice through her representatives and the prosecution, but In front of the hospital there were several protests, actions, fundamentalists spreading information about this girl ”, said Castro Alves.
“So this is not the first time we have violated children’s rights in such situations, and we hope that these cases will not happen again. Every day, we have daily information from the Unified Health System of six children who have had legal abortions. 107 child and adolescent rape victims every day in Brazil,” he said.
Santa Catarina Justice investigates the performance of judge Joana Ribeiro Zimmer, who barred an 11-year-old pregnant and rape-victim child from having an abortion.
The case was revealed in a report by journalists Paula Guimarães, Bruna de Lara and Tatiana Dias from Portal Catarinas and Intercept Brasil.
In representation, seven members of CNJ consider the trial conducted by the judge as “harmful” and stage of institutional violence against the girl.
According to the doctor, the child has a higher risk of continuing the pregnancy
According to gynecologist and obstetrician Albertina Duarte Takiuti, the child is at risk of acquiring various symptoms while continuing the pregnancy.
Anemia, high blood pressure, diabetes, eclampsia, urinary tract infection, deformity depending on the age of the baby will be at risk of death because the maternal mortality rate is higher in girls aged 10-14 than in women over 40. We will be at risk of the baby being born prematurely and underweight and dying after birth,” Takiuti explains.
“And the psychological problem of this girl is revealed, she is oppressed, violated. She received an uninvestigated rape. The rapist does not appear, who is the father of this child? Nobody knows. But he is convicted, he is subjected to social rape again and the society rapes him again,” he said.
